The IRGC Navy has launched anti-ship cruise missiles and drones against vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, marking a substantial escalation in regional hostilities. This kinetic action is reinforced by President Trump's rejection of Iran's proposal to reopen the strait, removing the immediate diplomatic off-ramp. The combination of physical disruption and diplomatic deadlock creates a high risk of sustained oil supply constraints, directly impacting global energy costs and shipping logistics.
