Iran has threatened to confiscate 46 ships in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating pressure on global maritime shipping, according to international media reports. The list of vessels targeted with drastic sanctions and seizure aims to disrupt oil and gas transit through the strategic waterway, which carries about 20% of global petroleum supplies. The move follows heightened tensions in the region. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint between the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. Previous Iranian threats have raised concerns about supply chain stability, though the full impact of these new measures remains unclear.
