    US urges China to dissuade Iran from closing Strait of Hormuz

    Iran parliament reportedly backs closing Strait of Hormuz, which could
    spike oil prices

    Iran's parliament has endorsed closing the Strait of Hormuz, a vital
    oil transit point off its coast, but analysts are skeptical about the
    threat from a body without authority to close the strait.

    Why it matters: Impeding the strait would likely bring a massive spike
    in oil prices that would flow through to U.S. consumers

    Eurasia senior analyst Gregory Brew told Axios in an email that "a
    move to close Hormuz would be an effective declaration of war against
    the Gulf states and the US" and that "Iran in its weakened state is
    unlikely to seek escalation of that kind at this time."

    Pentagon says Iranian nuclear capabilities are 'devastated' after U.S.
    strikes
    ..
    ..
    "The order we received from our commander in chief was focused, it was powerful, and it was clear," Hegseth said Sunday morning at a press
    conference at the Pentagon. "We devastated the Iranian nuclear
    program. But it's worth noting the operation did not target Iranian
    troops or the Iranian people."

    The U.S. attack on Iran's nuclear sites involved seven B-2 stealth
    bombers and also included at least one submarine, according to Gen.
    Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the Pentagon press conference.
