Big threat from Iran, upset by American blockade, threatened to stop trade from Gulf of Oman to Red Sea

The tension between America and Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz located in the Persian Gulf has reached a dangerous level. After the alleged blockade of Iranian ports by America, Iran has reacted sharply and warned of affecting global maritime trade.

What did Ali Abdullahi say?

According to Iranian state media, senior army officer Ali Abdullahi said that the US move is posing a serious threat to the security of Iran’s merchant ships and oil tankers. Calling it a violation of the ceasefire, he made it clear that Iran can go to any extent to protect the sovereignty of the country.

In fact, after the failure of peace talks, America has taken a tough stance and started a campaign to stop ships coming and going from Iranian ports. For this, it has deployed a large number of warships, naval forces and air force personnel. The US Central Command claims that within a few hours of the implementation of the blockade, Iran’s maritime traffic was almost halted.

According to reports, the US Navy stopped two oil tankers trying to leave Iran’s Chabahar port. At the same time, many other merchant ships changed their routes following American instructions. However, some tracking reports also claimed that some ships managed to pass through the area, to which the US said that they did not belong to Iran.

Meanwhile, Iran also challenged US claims, saying that a big oil tanker reached its coast safely despite the blockade. A large part of Iran’s economy depends on maritime trade, especially its oil exports. In such a situation, this blockade can create serious economic crisis for him.

Iran’s warning

Iran has warned that if the pressure continues, it could disrupt global trade passing through the Red Sea, the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. Special mention was made of the important sea route like Bab-el-Mandeb, which is very important for the world’s energy supply.

According to experts, if these sea routes are disrupted, a large part of the global oil supply may be affected, due to which there is a possibility of a huge jump in prices in the international market.
