Iran Closes Strait of Hormuz Over Israeli Strikes, US Threatens Toll

S. Central Command warned that, if a final nuclear agreement is not reached within 60 days, the United States could impose tolls on vessels transiting the strait. The U. S. statement underscored Washington's leverage over the route amid ongoing regional tensions.
