Iran Attacks US Warships in Strait of Hormuz? Ceasefire or Start of Bigger Conflict | NEXT IAS

Описание: Missiles, Drones, Naval strikes. Explosions near one of the world’s most critical oil routes. The Strait of Hormuz is once again turning into a global flashpoint after fresh clashes between Iran and the United States. Iran claims the US violated a ceasefire. The US says it acted in self-defence after attacks on its destroyers. Yet despite military exchanges, both sides are still calling it a “ceasefire.” So what is really happening in West Asia right now? And why is the entire world watching this narrow waterway so closely? Because nearly one-fifth of global oil trade passes through the Strait of Hormuz — meaning even a small escalation here can shake oil prices, global trade, and international security overnight.
