BREAKING: Iran has fired live missiles toward the Strait of Hormuz and temporarily closed parts of the waterway during massive military drills today, Feb. 17–18, 2026. The elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched missiles from coastal and inland positions as high-stakes nuclear talks with the U.S. began in Geneva. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical chokepoints, carrying roughly 20 % of global oil supplies — any disruption there could send shockwaves through energy markets and raise geopolitical tensions dramatically.
