Iran's expansion of retaliatory strikes has led to attacks on three commercial ships near the Strait of Hormuz, with Tehran asserting full control over the vital global shipping passage.
Despite President Trump's promise to ensure the free flow of energy, only two vessels have attempted the 'chicken run' through the Strait of Hormuz since the announcement, highlighting the ongoing risks and challenges.
The ongoing conflict has effectively closed the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global shipping route for oil and gas, leading to international efforts to reopen it amid significant challenges.
