New Delhi. Amidst the ongoing tension in the Middle East, a big news has come out from the Strait of Hormuz, which has raised questions on America’s strategy. After a strict warning from Iran, an American warship had to retreat from the Strait of Hormuz.
This incident has happened at a time when US President Trump is continuously claiming that America has started the process of “opening” this important sea route. Iranian state TV says that the American military ship has been warned that if it crosses the Strait of Hormuz it will be attacked within 30 minutes. A senior Iranian military official told state TV that the US naval ship returned after the warning.
Shortly before this, President Trump wrote on social media, “We are now starting the process of cleaning the Strait of Hormuz, so that many countries of the world such as China, Japan, South Korea, France, Germany and other countries can benefit.” He also said that these countries are not able to show the courage to do this work themselves. However, the ground situation seems quite different from Trump’s claims.
According to Iran’s state press TV, the American warship had to retreat after his warning. This shows that Iran still has a strong hold on the Strait of Hormuz. This is the reason why every military step in this region has become extremely sensitive and risky. Impact on the supply chain due to restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important sea routes in the world, through which about 20% of the global oil supply passes.
In such a situation, any kind of disruption here directly impacts the global economy. This is the reason why a rise in oil prices is being seen as the tension in the region increases. Meanwhile, a round of talks has also started between America and Iran. In these discussions taking place in Islamabad, the US delegation is being led by Vice President JD Vance, while Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Ghalibaf is included from the Iranian side. Direct talks are also going on between the two countries, in which Pakistan has also been included.
