On February 28, the United States and Israel began launching strikes against targets in Iran, to which the Iranian side responded with its own strikes. In mid-June, Tehran and Washington signed a memorandum to cease hostilities; however, they later exchanged further strikes. At present, the conflict remains unresolved. In September, the IRGC announced that Tehran was establishing a restricted navigation zone east of the Strait of Hormuz, requiring vessels to coordinate with Tehran in order to pass through the area.
