Amid the Middle East War, Iran Set To Impose New Chapter of Control in Strait of Hormuz
IRAN – Iranian leader Mojtaba Khamenei is firm that they won’t surrender the control in the Strait of Hormuz.
Previously, the world was shocked and was left monitoring the happenings in the Middle East after United States President Donald Trump warned that the entire Iranian civilization will allegedly die if they won’t fully open the Strait of Hormuz before the ultimatum ends. The threat came during the 5th week of the war that sparked after the U.S. and Israel launched airstrikes that killed many Iranians.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was one of those who died from the attack of the United States and Israel to Iran. Many Iranian officials and civilians died from the attack. The Iranian government vowed to avenge the death of their people.
Following the attack, Tehran immediately banned the U.S. and Israel-linked vessels from passing the Strait of Hormuz. It is a vital passageway for global oil shipments.
The Middle East war has greatly affected the oil supply in many countries around the world. Amid the struggle of other nations, U.S. Pres. Donald Trump believes that the soaring oil costs will allegedly be short-term.
However, as for Iran, it warned the world to prepare for oil to hit $200 per barrel. Trump justified the initial attack as allegedly a move to stop the Iranians from acquiring nuclear power and supposedly destroying the world.
Before the ultimatum set by U.S. Pres. Donald Trump was up, the American Leader agreed to a 2-week ceasefire. According to him, their military has supposedly achieved all their goals already.
Iran announced that the Strait of Hormuz will be reopened. Amid the 2-week ceasefire between the two (2) countries, based on News5, Iran is firm that it will not surrender its power to control the Strait of Hormuz.
Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said they will be imposing a new chapter in their control of the Strait of Hormuz. Based on the post, he stressed that they will not surrender their control in the waterway wherein 20% of the global oil supply pass.
U.S. Pres. Donald Trump said it will be a double sided ceasefire as he agreed to stop the attack against Iran for 2 weeks. The recent event has caused the price of oil to drop.
