What happened
President Donald Trump said the U.S. will reinstate a naval blockade of Iranian ports, control traffic through the Strait of Hormuz and charge commercial ships 20% of cargo value for safe passage. The U.S. military launched a third consecutive night of strikes on Iran, and a War Powers notice said renewed military action began July 7. Iran said it fired on two vessels in the strait; the UAE said an attack on two tankers killed one and wounded eight. Oil gained, with WTI at $79.91 and Brent near $80.
