 Så lenge den ene eller andre part gjør krav på å bestemme over trafikken i Hormuz Stredet, er det ikke sikkert å ferdes der. Med andre ord, det vil forbli stengt for ansvarlige rederier. (Red.)

The United States and Iran continue to battle over control of the Strait of Hormuz, escalating hostilities across the region while both claim control of the vital waterway.

The U.S. on Sunday night issued its latest salvo in what has turned into a multi-day exchange of hostilities, putting global leaders on edge and threatening a resumption of full-scale conflict in the Middle East.

U.S. Central Command said Monday that it had completed another round of strikes against Iran, seeking to destroy its ability to target ships moving through the strait, which serves as a major shipping lane for one-fifth of the world’s oil supply.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade. Iran does not control it,” CENTCOM said in a statement.
