🚢 What just happened
	•	Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has attacked and seized multiple ships in the Strait of Hormuz in recent days. 
	•	Reports say at least 2–3 vessels were seized or fired upon, including container ships. 
	•	Iran has also used fast attack boats to board ships and take control of them. 

⸻

⚠️ Escalation in the region
	•	The situation is part of a larger 2026 conflict involving Iran, the U.S., and allies. 
	•	Iran is:
	•	Laying sea mines in the strait
	•	Threatening or blocking shipping routes
	•	Seizing vessels it considers violating its rules 
	•	The U.S. has responded with a naval blockade of Iranian ports, creating a “dual blockade” situation. 

⸻

📉 Impact on global shipping
	•	Ship traffic has collapsed dramatically:
	•	Normally ~140 ships/day
	•	Recently as low as 5 ships in 24 hours 
	•	Many companies are avoiding the area because it’s now considered unsafe. 
	•	Thousands of sailors are stranded, and some ships have already been attacked. 

⸻

🌍 Why this matters
	•	The Strait of Hormuz carries about 20–25% of the world’s oil supply. 
	•	Disruptions are already:
	•	Driving oil prices up
	•	Threatening global energy supply
	•	Increasing risk of wider war

🧭 Big picture

This isn’t a single isolated attack—it’s part of an ongoing military standoff. Iran is using ship seizures, mines, and threats to control the strait, while the U.S. and allies are trying to keep it open.
