TOP STORIES | Iran tightens Strait of Hormuz; family speaks after Fairfax killing
Two major stories are leading the headlines this Saturday morning. Iran has reimposed restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping route in the Middle East, after briefly signaling it would allow passage. Officials say transit will remain blocked under strict military oversight as tensions involving U.S.-linked shipping continue. Back at home, the family of Dr. Serena Fairfax is speaking publicly for the first time after her killing. Police say the Fairfax County dentist and mother was killed by her estranged husband, former Virginia Lt. Gov. Justin Fairfax. A growing memorial now stands outside her dental practice as loved ones ask for privacy in the days ahead.
