> Iran says it attacked more than a dozen vessels attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz and expanded a no-go zone outside the strategic waterway. The attacks and fighting with the United States have pushed oil prices above $100 a barrel again as Tehran maintains its blockade and Washington applies a counter-blockade to Iranian ports.
