Tension has increased between America and Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz. The situation remains critical amid warnings and counterattacks, raising fears of an impact on global oil supply and trade.
Iran-US War: The ongoing conflict in the Middle East is becoming more serious. The impact of war is not limited only to the war zone, but it is also affecting global trade and energy supply. Meanwhile, sharp statements have emerged between America and Iran regarding the Strait of Hormuz, which has made the situation more tense.
Tension increased due to Trump’s warning
Former US President Donald Trump had warned Iran to open the Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours. He had clearly said that if this was not done, Iran’s important infrastructure could be attacked.
This warning has come at a time when military activities have already increased in the area. This statement of Trump has made the situation more sensitive and has increased concern at the international level.
Iran counterattacked, gave strict warning
Iran has also taken a tough stance on Trump’s threat. Iran has clearly said that if America takes any kind of military action, it will completely close the Strait of Hormuz. This statement of Iran is considered very important, because this waterway is one of the most important oil supply routes in the world. If it is stopped, a global energy crisis may arise.
Is the Strait of Hormuz really closed?
Amidst all these statements, Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has tried to clarify the situation. He said that the Strait of Hormuz is not completely closed. Posting on the social media platform X, he said that the hesitation being seen in the movement of ships is due to the fear of insurance companies. He says that this fear is due to the war which has been started by America and Israel, not by Iran.
Fear of insurance companies became a big reason
According to the Iranian Foreign Minister, in the current situation, insurance companies are hesitant in providing cover to the ships. For this reason many ships are avoiding passing through this route. He also said that Iran will not be influenced by any kind of threat and will stick to its stance. This statement is an indication that Iran is in no mood to back down.
Iran has clearly blamed America and Israel for this situation. On behalf of the Foreign Ministry, it was said that these two countries are behind the increasing danger and disruption in the Strait of Hormuz.
Strict message from Iranian President
Iranian President Pejeshkian has also given his reaction on this issue. He clearly said that Iran is not going to back down under any pressure. Said that talking about destroying Iran only shows desperation. He also said that threats and pressure further strengthen Iran’s unity. The President also clarified that the Strait of Hormuz is open to all, but the situation will be different for those who violate Iran’s sovereignty.
increasing effect of rust
The impact of this ongoing conflict in the Middle East is now clearly visible. Today is the 24th day of the war and it is continuously increasing. According to the Israeli Health Ministry, 4697 people have been injured so far. Of these, 124 people are still hospitalized and the condition of 14 is said to be critical.
