Iran’s Supreme National Security Council will decide whether to shut down the crucial Strait of Hormuz, state broadcaster Press TV reported Sunday, after the Iranian parliament voted in favour of the measure amid rising tensions with the United States and Israel.
The move follows recent US airstrikes on Iran’s nuclear facilities including the fortified Fordow enrichment site. While no final decision has been made, closing the strait is now under serious consideration as the regional conflict intensifies.
