What happened
Iran's Revolutionary Guard said it struck tankers near the Strait of Hormuz, and an ADNOC-operated vessel was damaged in an attack in UAE waters. Iran's security chief, Mohsen Rezaei, secretary of the Supreme National Security Council, said the strait will stay closed unless the US meets seven conditions.
Why it matters
Ships are still being targeted, and the US says it will keep protecting shipping through the waterway. The strait's closure is central to the talks on ending the war.
