How the call settles
Iran announces and enforces a closure of the Strait of Hormuz and commercial transits through it halt.
Our reasoning
NO on the research record because Iran announced a closure on July 12, but the IMO's July transit record shows ship transits continued during the month. The required halt in commercial transits therefore did not occur by July 31.. Applied stored rule: Iran announces and enforces a closure of the Strait of Hormuz and commercial transits through it halt.
Outcome evidence
Iran announced a closure on July 12, but the IMO's July transit record shows ship transits continued during the month. The required halt in commercial transits therefore did not occur by July 31.
