Greek headlines state that Iran says the Strait of Hormuz remains closed and that Tehran is in a fully offensive posture. They also describe Oman’s route gaining importance as Iran loses control, though the headlines provide no further details.

A continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz could disrupt a major international shipping and energy route and increase regional tensions.
