What happened
The US has reinstated a full naval blockade on Iran, expanding restrictions to all vessels at Iranian ports and intensifying economic sanctions. This move sharply reduces Iran's oil exports and foreign trade capabilities, causing currency depreciation and inflation. Regional tensions rise amid shipping cost surges and Saudi-Houthi conflicts, risking a broader energy crisis.
- 01US Central Command reactivates naval blockade on all vessels at Iranian ports, not just oil tankers.

- 03Iran exported $6 billion in oil during a brief 26-day easing before blockade resumed.
- 04Sanctions and blockade cause Iranian rial to sharply depreciate, fueling 62% annual inflation.
- 05Iranian customs lifted some export bans, but physical shipping limits hinder trade recovery.
- 06Regional tensions rise with Saudi-Houthi conflict threatening key maritime routes and energy supplies.
