On February 28, the United States and Israel began launching strikes against targets in Iran. Iran responded with its own strikes. In mid-June, Tehran and Washington signed a memorandum to cease hostilities. However, they later exchanged strikes again. At present, the conflict remains unresolved. In September, Iran’s IRGC announced that Tehran was establishing a no-navigation zone east of the Strait of Hormuz, requiring vessels to coordinate with Tehran in order to pass through the area.
