The Joint Maritime Information Center again raised the threat level in the Strait of Hormuz to severe after renewed clashes between the U.S. and Iran.

It is the second-highest level in the NGO's scale, only behind critical. It had been lowered to substantial after the two countries signed a memorandum of understanding to end the war and kick off nuclear negotiations.
