TOPSHOT - This US Navy handout photo released on May 7, 2026 by US Central Command Public Affairs, shows the Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer USS Rafael Peralta (DDG 115) implementing a maritime blockade against the Iran-flagged crude oil tanker vessel Stream while the latter was attempting to sail toward an Iranian port, on April 26, 2026. The war launched by the US and Israel in late February saw Iran respond with attacks across the Middle East and maintain a stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz, choking off major flows of oil, gas, and fertilizer to the world economy, while the US has imposed a counter-blockade on Iranian ports.
