Iran Threatens More Oil, Gas Disruptions at Strait of Hormuz if U.S. Stays Involved
July 13, 2026, 6:14 AM EDT.Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) said more disruption to global oil and gas could hit if U.S. interference around the Strait of Hormuz keeps up. The warning comes after the U.S. struck back against Iranian actions targeting commercial shipping and Iran declared the chokepoint ‘effectively closed’ again. Oil prices climbed and equities dropped, with bond yields sliding, as the market worried about tighter supply and rising inflation risks. Analysts pointed out shipping traffic is slowing through the area, a major route for energy, fueling concerns about longer-term supply problems heading into the third quarter.

July 13, 2026, 4:53 AM EDT. Henderson Far East Income (LSE:HFEL) is showing a 9.55% dividend yield, more than double what easy-access Cash ISAs pay at 4.5%.
