Since the start of the war, Iran has blocked some oil tankers and attacked cargo vessels trying to pass through the straight, which has led to a huge spike in global oil prices. Nearly a fifth of the world's oil supply
typically passes through this vital oil export route. The waters off Iran's coast have become a strategic battleground in the war. The U.S. bombed military targets on Iran's Hark Island Saturday. Trump said the U.S. might hit the island again, quote just for fun, "If Iran continues interfering with ships passing through the straight-of-form booths,

“For NPR news, I'm Curtis Tate in Richmond, Kentucky. The chair of the FCC-Brendan car”
is threatening the licenses of broadcasters over what he says is fake news about the U.S. Israeli war in Iran and PR's Daniel Kurtzleben reports. FCC-Brendan Car made the threat in a social media post that accused outlets of, quote, "running hoaxes and news distortions," unquote. He added, quote, "Broadcasters must operate in the public interest and they will lose their licenses if they do not," unquote. In the post, Car attached a social media post in
which President Trump said that outlets including the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal want the U.S. to lose the war in Iran. He also characterized workers of those outlets as truly sick and demanded people. The administration has multiple times accused news organizations of pushing fake news after running stories about difficulties and damages the U.S. has suffered in the war.
