WHAT HAPPENED
A Swedish-language headline reports that President Trump has instead closed the Strait of Hormuz to Iran. The supplied wording is ambiguous and does not establish the mechanism or operational status of any closure.
SO WHAT?
A confirmed closure of the Strait of Hormuz could disrupt global oil shipping and sharply increase geopolitical and energy-market risks.
