Tensions are escalating in the Strait of Hormuz, raising concerns about global trade and security

Clashes between U.S. and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz are intensifying, accompanied by conflicting reports about the attacks. Several European countries and the UN are preparing for the possible negative impact on global trade and security.

Key Points

• Iran says it has forced a US warship to turn back from entering the Strait of Hormuz, while the US has announced its forces have hit six Iranian small boats they say were threatening commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
• They say US merchant ships made it through the strait - without saying when - while Iran has denied any such crossings had taken place.
