The US has deployed F-35s and destroyers to the Persian Gulf, escalating tensions with Iran following the imposition of a naval blockade on Iranian ports (Crypto Briefing, 2026-04-16). This action is linked to increased activity of Iranian mines in the Strait of Hormuz, raising concerns about disruptions to global oil supply chains. The UK may consider deploying warships to ensure safe passage, adding to regional instability.
