It’s been 135 days since the start of the Iran War, with Tehran and Washington still vying for control of the Strait of Hormuz. After a weekend of attacks on Iran as well as Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, Jordan and Oman further threatened any diplomacy, both governments said Monday they’ve commandeered the formerly freely navigable waterway.

Iran and the U.S. are nearly halfway through the 60-day interim deal period intended to establish talks for a permanent end to the war.
