United States President Donald Trump has strongly warned that Iran cannot blackmail Washington by closing the Strait of Hormuz amid escalating tensions. His statements follow Tehran's announcement of tightened control over the vital waterway in response to American blockades.
Iranian officials claim the recent United States blockade of their ports violates the ceasefire agreement, defending their right to retaliate. However, Trump declared that any attempt by Iran to block the world's most critical oil transportation route remains completely unacceptable.
Regional reports indicate the Iranian navy has issued radio warnings preventing commercial ships from crossing the Strait of Hormuz, raising global market fears. Analysts warn that any disruption in this crucial passage will severely impact global energy security and oil prices.
