US advises ships to avoid Iranian waters.

The US has issued new guidelines for US-flagged ships in the Strait of Hormuz, urging them to avoid Iranian waters and not resist Iranian forces boarding. Historically, global shipping has been threatened by conflicts in the Middle East, with recent tensions between the US and Iran leading to military buildup and warnings. The US has seized Iranian tankers and Trump has threatened Iran over nuclear and missile programs. Negotiations are ongoing, with the US emphasizing zero enrichment while Iran asserts its right to enrich uranium.
