Iranian gunboats fire on tanker in Strait of Hormuz as Iran reimposes restrictions

CAIRO (AP) — The dueling blockades in the Strait of Hormuz lurched into uncharted waters on Saturday. The United States pressed ahead with its campaign to choke off Iranian ports and Iran reversed an initial move to reopen the waterway, firing on a ship attempting to pass. Confusion over the critical chokepoint threatened to deepen the energy crisis roiling the global economy and push the two countries toward renewed conflict, even as mediators expressed confidence a new deal was within reach.

Iran’s joint military command said on Saturday that “control of the Strait of Hormuz has returned to its previous state ... under strict management and control of the armed forces.” It warned that it would continue to block transit through the strait as long as the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports remained in effect.

Two gunboats from Iran’s Revolutionary Guard opened fire on a tanker transiting the Strait of Hormuz, the British military’s United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations center said on Saturday. It repored the tanker and crew as safe, without identifying the vessel or its destination.

Iran announced earlier Saturday it was reimposing restrictions on the strait in response to a U.S. blockade on Iranian shipping and ports. Iran has prevented vessels from crossing throughout the seven-week-long war, except for ones it authorizes.

If not, who is to blame for making the conditions way worse now than 6 months ago?

Your US military became terrorists when they bombed a school. Pepperidge Farms remembers as will the world for years to come. Useless military, just totally inept as we are seeing. A military is only as strong as its leaders and it's leaders are the weakest men on earth right now. Pete and Donald running a military, bonespurs and a fox news host LMAO. Weak and inept.

Iran is doing what any country would do when attacked. What did you expect? Thank Trump for assassinating three round of negotiators by throwing a bbq? Trump uncorked an asymmetric form of warfare that Joe Kent and all the intel agencies warned about.

Anything that Iran does is Trumps fault….got it!

This. Is. Victory.

Trump assassinated three round of negotiators. Attacked and destroyed civilian infrastructure, lied about things the Iranians never agreed too….. and this is the Iranian’s fault? Holy fuck.

You can't reason with these people or have any productive conversation. Present day MAGA is proving to be the same level of cult that TDS was/is. They're the same crazy losers who can't think and just run off emotion.

So how long does Iran get this free pass on everything they do? Can they now mow down their own citizens and it’s still Trump’s fault? For fucks sake they are responsible for their actions just like Israel and the US are. OR, just blame Trump for everything to make it easier

The world sees you guys shooting citizens in the streets too. You're just another poor Maga clinging on for dear life. It's fun to watch idiots like you try and jump through loopholes to defend your Orange god. Question is,when do you jump ship and switch teams.
