Tense exchanges between IRGC Navy and US Navy recorded by ship worker in Strait of Hormuz | ABC NEWS

Описание: 📍 A tense exchange between the United States and Iran in the Persian Gulf shows the extremely fraught situation in the Strait of Hormuz as a fragile ceasefire hangs in the balance.

With thousands of sailors still stuck in the liminal space on either side of the critical waterway, a sailor who's been speaking with the ABC recorded a sudden crackling of the radio over the weekend.

Since the recordings, the US announced and later imposed a blockage of the strait, saying it would stop any ships coming to or from the strait via Iranian ports.

It's not immediately clear what a US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz would look like or what it would involve.
