Chronology

The recent record.

The indexed chronology of military strikes, maritime incidents, formal closures, and diplomatic activity affecting transit through the Strait of Hormuz, drawn from public news archives and named outlet feeds. This page carries the most recent 60 reports, not the whole archive; older ones stay reachable at their own permalinks. Several outlets can report one incident, so the reports cover fewer stories. Indexing favors signal over completeness; quiet stretches are normal. See methodology for sourcing.
