Iran’s legislative body has cast a vote in favor of shutting down the Strait of Hormuz — a crucial waterway that handles nearly a fifth of the global oil trade each day.
Should this decision be enforced, it would effectively freeze $1 billion worth of daily oil exports, likely triggering a dramatic spike in oil prices worldwide.
The implementation of the closure awaits a final verdict from Iran’s Supreme Council.
According to Iran’s government-run Press TV, the Supreme Council is expected to announce its ruling by the end of the day.
In a statement issued Sunday, Revolutionary Guards Commander Email Kosari said Iran’s sharp response to American airstrikes on its nuclear infrastructure “will be done whenever necessary.”

As Iran Escalates, United Hatzalah Responds — Under Fire With America’s strike on Iran and Tehran lashing out in desperation, Israeli civilians are again in the crosshairs. Cities across the north and center have endured waves of rocket fire. Families are running for shelter. Children are frightened. And before the smoke even clears, United Hatzalah volunteers are already there. PLEASE DONATE GENEROUSLY This past week alone, medics have pulled a baby from a collapsed apartment in Haifa, revived a grandfather hit by shrapnel in Petach Tikvah, and treated entire families suffering trauma after direct rocket strikes. These aren’t salaried professionals — they’re trained volunteers, leaving their own children in shelters to save strangers and their children.

Iranian authorities have confirmed the arrest of a German citizen, identified as Marek Kaufman, who has reportedly been detained for over a year on suspicion of espionage. Iran’s state-run Mehr news agency acknowledged the arrest on Saturday, claiming Kaufman is Jewish and entered the country on a tourist visa. Officials allege Kaufman was apprehended while cycling near sensitive military and nuclear sites in Iran’s central Markazi province—likely near the heavily guarded Arak facility. According to Iranian state media, Kaufman is accused of collecting intelligence on missile sites, drone operations, and air force bases.
