Washington Times reporting states that Mike Huckabee serves as U.S. ambassador to Israel and that a U.S.-Israel military campaign against Iran began in late February, now approaching six months. The same source describes Iranian closure of the Strait of Hormuz via mines and small boats, resulting in low commercial traffic, alongside specific statements by President Trump on Truth Social. Al Jazeera items on transit volumes and U.S. control claims remain unverified.
