The Strait of Hormuz has been closed, and Iran will fire upon any vessels attempting to pass through, Iranian media reported, citing Ebrahim Jabari, an Iranian Revolutionary Guards senior official.

This is the clearest warning issued by Iran since Saturday (28th) when it informed vessels of the closure of the export route, a move that could potentially cut off one-fifth of the world's oil transport and lead to an upsurge in crude oil prices.
