Amidst the crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, 6 big countries together made a new strategy, focusing on the safety of ships.

New Delhi:The Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most important sea routes, is currently a cause of global concern. The increasing tension here has not only affected regional peace, but has also started affecting the energy supply of the entire world. In such a situation, many countries of Europe and Japan have indicated to take a big step together, due to which new movements are being seen at the international level.

Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands and Japan have issued a statement together saying that they are ready to ensure the safety of ships passing through this sea route. These countries made it clear that they will try to normalize the situation here through mutual cooperation and coordination. He also strongly criticized the recent attacks by Iran and said that these incidents have seriously affected the global energy supply.

Big impact on energy sector

The recent attacks have directly affected the energy sector. Oil and gas plants in Qatar and Saudi Arabia have been damaged, affecting production. According to Qatar Energy, about 17 percent of their LNG export capacity has been affected, which is likely to cause huge economic losses. In view of this, these countries have talked about working together with other producing countries to increase energy production and keep the market stable.

Why is the Strait of Hormuz important?

The Strait of Hormuz is a major route for oil and gas supply globally. It is like a lifeline for many countries of the world. But recent developments have made the situation here extremely sensitive. Iran is accused of using drones and explosive boats to target merchant ships. Due to this, the movement of ships passing through this route has almost come to a standstill and hundreds of ships are stranded outside. This has affected the supply of many countries including India.

Appeal amid increasing tension

The situation became more serious when Iran retaliated by targeting energy bases in the Gulf region. This caused damage to major centers of Qatar and Saudi Arabia and a decline in production. In view of this situation, European countries and Japan have appealed to Iran to immediately stop the attacks and maintain peace in the region. He said that if the situation does not improve, it will affect the entire world.

Global threat warning

The joint statement also said that blockage of sea routes and disruption of energy supplies could pose a threat to international security. Its impact will be especially severe on weak countries and common people. These countries demanded an immediate stop to attacks on civilian infrastructure and warned that if this trend continued, it would have far-reaching consequences.

Europe and Japan have indicated that they will take concrete steps not only for security but also to keep the energy market stable. Under this, emphasis will be laid on increasing production and strengthening international cooperation.
