Iran closes Strait of Hormuz, stops 2 oil tankers

Tensions have risen once again in the Strait of Hormuz, known as the heart of energy transportation in the Middle East. US and Iranian delegations had met in Islamabad, the capital of Pakistan, to resolve the crisis, but the parties were unable to reach an agreement during the talks.

Following the failure of diplomatic efforts, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps took a significant step this morning by stopping two oil tankers passing through the strait.
