Strait of Hormuz closed again, Iran says, as ships attacked

Iran says it is closing the Strait of Hormuz again to commercial vessels and that any ship that approaches it will be targeted.

The closure came as reports emerged of vessels in or near the strait, including a tanker, were targeted by Tehran on Saturday.

The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) blamed a continuing US blockade for its decision, which comes a day after Iran's foreign minister announced the key global shipping channel had been temporarily reopened.
