The decision is not set in stone — Iran’s Supreme National Security Council and Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei have the final power to close the strait. Closing the waterway — which the U.S. Energy Information Administration described as a “critical oil chokepoint” — would be costly for Iran. It would also have widespread impacts on the global energy market. Iran has previously threatened to close the strait during other conflicts, but has never…

Ime Udoka was instrumental in the Houston Rockets’ decision to acquire Kevin Durant from the Phoenix Suns. The groundwork for this move was laid last June when Houston obtained several future draft picks from Phoenix through a trade with the Brooklyn Nets. This transaction sparked speculation that the Rockets were positioning themselves to target either Durant or Devin Booker. Initially, Rafael Stone and the Rockets organization made public and private commitments to their developing young core.
