TRUMP WARNS IRAN: "CLOSE HORMUZ, PREPARE FOR WAR" 🚨
Iran has estimated that closing the Strait of Hormuz could cause oil prices to soar from $70 to $200 per barrel worldwide. This sharp increase would have a negative effect on the global economy and raise energy prices for both consumers and businesses.
Experts warn that this estimate does not even take into account the possible closure of the Bab al-Mandab Strait, another critical point connecting the Gulf of Aden and the Red Sea. Oil flows from the Middle East to Europe, Asia, and the U.S. could be disrupted, causing a major energy catastrophe if both straits were sealed.
In a strong response, President Trump said that Iran should be prepared for war if it closes the Strait of Hormuz. The United States considers the free flow of oil through these vital waterways a matter of national and international security, and any disruption could result in military retaliation. This statement highlights how much is at stake.
Although there is a very high probability of escalation, analysts also point out that Iran's calculations are a component of a geopolitical strategy to increase its influence in energy markets. The world is watching closely as they know that one move could spark a conflict and affect oil prices worldwide.
