Strait of Hormuz Conflict
Where Things Stand
President Trump set an 8 p.m. ET deadline today for Iran to agree to a ceasefire and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Iran rejected a 45-day peace deal, so the U.S. is now threatening to bomb Iranian power plants and bridges. This conflict matters because it could stop global oil trade and start a new war.
