Discussion of the Strait of Hormuz describes the situation as escalating into an overt denial-of-access dynamic, with Iranian military warnings about 'unauthorized corridors' and potential strikes deep into the Persian Gulf. A commercial tanker named Acers was reportedly hit by projectile strikes, raising shipping risk.
