    US forces struck Iran for a third time in a week, prompting retaliatory attacks from Tehran as it declared the Strait of Hormuz would be closed "until further notice." The Islamic Republic responded early Sunday with drone and missile assaults on at least five American allies across the Middle East, including Kuwait, Jordan and Qatar.

True, nothing ever happens. Well, the US consequently with it's policy of sourcing the best possible energy partner and at the same time trying to prevent a nuclear armaggedon has not prevailed in Iran since there's a big elephant in the room (BTW a non visible mosquito too), that is, the oldest democracy on Earth has not been able to convince the Iran regime on the negotiating table due to that huge difference. So the US should keep looking for another partner similar to Iran with regard to the quality of its crudes and refinery products. I think the US government feels the opportunity as a pity but having learnt from it knows now better what it needs in terms of global security and energy sourcing and I'm sure wishes the best for the people of Iran.

Iran blocks Hormuz again, says US breached deal
From breakingthenews.net | 19 hr ago | 81 comments
Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) Navy announced that the Strait of Hormuz will be "temporarily closed until further notice," and no ship will be allowed to sail through the waterway, blaming the United States for violating the memorandum of understanding (MoU). The Strait will remain blocked until the US "ceases its interference in [the] region," the navy said in a statement. "Should the aggressor, exploiting this incident (which it itself caused), commit any further transgressions, we shall respond forcefully, and additional enemy bases in the region will be targeted," the IRGC Navy warned, adding that the blame for such an escalation would fall on the US, Israel, and "countries that have placed their territories" at their disposal. IRGC fired a missile at a commercial cargo ship that tried to pass through the strait of Hormuz, U.S. official says. Ship was hit and suffered damages
