This comes as conflict in the Middle East enters day four after the United States of America and Israel attacked Iran on Saturday, killing its Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
Iran has been responding to the aggression by attacking US and Israel assets in the Gulf.
Late Monday, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps announced that the Strait of Hormuz, through which a fifth of the world’s oil shipping passes, is now “closed” and warns any vessels attempting to pass through will be attacked.
