WHAT HAPPENED
Iran is reportedly considering an exclusion zone intended to make the Strait of Hormuz unsafe for US forces. The proposal represents a potential confrontation over one of the world's most important energy shipping routes.
SO WHAT?
Any disruption or threat to Hormuz could affect global oil supplies and raise the risk of direct US-Iran confrontation.
