Iranian officials have accused Israel of carrying out strikes on nuclear facilities and major industrial sites, including steel plants. Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi warned Tehran would impose a âheavy priceâ in response.

The G7 nations called for restoring full navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, which Iran has moved to restrict. The waterway is a critical global energy route, with roughly 20% of the worldâs oil and liquefied natural gas passing through it.
Rubio said there are reports Iran has begun charging some vessels for safe passage through the strait
Iranian lawmakers are also reportedly considering legislation tied to those restrictions.
