OPEC members Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Iraq export most of their crude via the strait, mainly to Asia. Qatar, among the world's biggest liquefied natural gas exporters, sends almost all of its LNG through the strait.

This is probably the worst and most terrifying reason why President Trump back tracked and announced the cease-fire. I knew something was just not adding up with the sudden announcement after so much bravado by the US and Mr Rubio running to China to beg them to talk to Iran.

This would have dealt a severe blow to the US and Arab allies.

Nothing will happen oga,you want to block shipping route wey Brazil,Russia,India,China,South Africa and the ALMIGHTY WEST dey take trade?
It goes beyond just sentiments,bias or personal interests.
Even your closest allies wouldn't support such move.
If a ship isn't taking something to them through that route it is taking something to be delivered elsewhere through that route.
Whichever way it can't just work,Iran can only distrupt but there will be dire consequences.

dalongjnr:
It will still backfired because it will put Iran against China and Russia.

No! It won't because these three countries share same enemies..and would consider it a necessity on the part of Iran to ensure its existential survival from the threats pose by the US and its nato allies.

Besides if Iran mine the strait of hormuz, it also able to determine safe corridor where its allies ships vessels can navigate through while effectively blocking or attacking those of the enemies.

Just like how the houthies who began attacking shipping vessels affiliated with Israel in the red Sea.

You do love your propaganda and lies. Gotta give you that!😁
Good thing is you do not make economic decisions for Iran, neither are you in the country to know anything, just propaganda. So your rants begin and ends here.

Maybe Iran should close the Strait of Hormuz alone so it would cripple Iran’s own economy. "Iran exports 1.7–2 million barrels of oil daily, mostly to China, which accounts for a huge percent of its government revenue".
https://www.iranintl.com/en/202407018317

Just in case you aren't aware, blocking the strait would pause these exports, which will most likely trigger hyperinflation and trouble on Iran Ayatollah and their islamism trash, similar to Venezuela’s collapse after oil sanctions. Remember that?
Example:In 2019, Iran’s GDP shrank 9.5% under U.S. sanctions. Are you saying Iran is that reckless to now close the strait? Lol https://www.reuters.com/article/us-iran-economy-imf/iran-economy-to-shrink-95-this-year-amid-tighter-us-sanctions-says-imf-idUSKBN1WU28M/

The U.S. fifth fleet (Bahrain) and allied navies also patrol the strait. Of course, Iran’s nonsense tactics (mines or drones) might disrupt traffic, of course, but remember the U.S. has "bunker buster" bombs and plans to quickly neutralize these threats, again, remember in the 1988 Operation Praying Mantis(sinking about half Iran’s navy in one day, hours). Why would Iran invite the US wrath on them that way? Lol
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Praying_Mantis

Are you also aware that Saudi Arabia and the UAE operate pipelines that bypasses Hormuz(Saudi’s East-West Pipeline, UAE’s Fujairah terminal). Are you aware? And for your info. These can reroute millions of barrels/day, so cover shortages.

Now, China on the other hand buys lot of Iran’s oil,yes. It also imports from Saudi Arabia and Russia. Beijing won’t risk global trade chaos for Tehran. Lol even In 2025, China sanctioned Iranian oil middlemen to avoid U.S. secondary sanctions. Why would China sacrifice its own economy to save Iran?

The ceasefire you cry about happened after U.S. strikes on those Iran’s nuclear sites (Fordow) and Iran’s face-saving missile launch (intercepted). How's that begging?
If Hormuz closure is so bad for the US and allies, just like you try to paint, why did Iran’s own Supreme Council hesitate to approve it despite parliamentary votes?

Tells you what ya need to know. Haha.

Bravo!
It's as simple as that. Don't mind the phool; he's using Nigeria standard to define the geo-trade.

This move will be worse than Iran having a nuclear weapon.. More B-2 bombers are getting set for another bombing spree undetected and unhindered... You are gonna learn

Karlman:
Iran should be grateful Israel wasn't after their citizens, if not, thousands of their citizens would be dead.

Now imagine if Iran was the one with same opportunity?

Let them go and rest because if they over step their limits anytime soon, Khamenei himself wouldn't be available to tell the tales.

You are indirectly saying Israel is a terrorist country. Because you cannot just unprovokenly and suddenly invade another country after you had been monitoring and planning the assassination of their top scientists since last November just because they were trying to advanced the technology of their country and think you are different from terrorist.

Power doesn't stay in one nation for centuries. One small country will surprise and shock US and it's allies soon.

Iran run to whr?
Well,
Make we leave talk,
Iran no be as una dey think,na sod county dey oo
Iran weapons can overcome isreal o,
We thank God for United States

Just be deceiving yourself.
In just 12 days of war, 925 death was recorded in Iran which includes military men and nuclear scientists, Iran first hide the true figure of 610 but later declare 925 death because such things cannot be hidden forever.
Only 30 people death were recorded in Israel without military men.
Iran was just throwing missiles at random without aim at particular things.
But Israel aimed mostly at military men and installations
If Israel want to deal ruthlessly with Iran or send missiles anyhow, many Iranians would have died.
Iran should thank UAE that negotiated ceasefire with USA on their behalf.
It was Iran saying during the war that they will not talk about ceasefire until Israel stop attacking them
Get your facts right
Iran can never withstand Israel military

That’s all they know, violence and destruction.

See them in Sambisa, Benue, Plateau, Enugu, Kwara, Kogi, Borneo name it

Guyman02:
Russia wanted it because it will bring Europe crawling back to Russia for gas

China already has a direct gas pipeline supplying gas from Russia so it won't affect them much.
EU economy which is already under pressure due to distractions from the conflict in Ukraine was threatened

Then Iran will suffer most if that's the case

US doesn't produce but have a very large store of oil

They didn't need to do all that and getting other nations involved after whipping I-h ell into total submission.

All bets are off in an active war. You deploy your most powerful move to prevent maximum destruction. There's the Theory of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD). Yes, Iran would be affected if they blocked the strait but it will ensure they don't go down alone.

You can't be bothered by hyperinflation if you are getting bombed to nothing. I'm sure if given the opportunity, Gaza will choose hyperinflation over what's currently happening to it.

The Irans don’t care who they would have touched. They would have just b u r n t everything to the ground. That so why the world will never allow them own a nuke. NEVA!

Iran Made Preparations To Mine Strait Of Hormuz After Israel Strikes, US Sources

The Straight of Hormuz is in international waters, so, it's highly irresponsible for the Shiite Iranian mullahs to have planned the use of mines there. However, the Iranian mullahs would be the losers at the end of the day because the international community can be very unforgiving about these kinds of crimes as seen in World War 1 and World War 2 when German U-boats sunk several international passenger and cargo ships in the waters of the Atlantic Ocean.

This infuriated the world further and that and more war crimes led to the end of Adolf Hitler and the unfortunate mass rapes and atrocities committed against several innocent German women by the notorious Soviet Red Army in East Berlin.

CodeTemplarr:
Terrorist regime. Isreal too will be advancing ways of detecting and neutralizing those useless mines.

The Israelis and America ate the terrorist you are referring to.

Iran Made Preparations To Mine Strait Of Hormuz After Israel Strikes, US Sources

Iran should have gone ahead to blockade the strait of Hormuz then, by now all her naval fleets, seaports, oil & gas fields would have been obliterated.

Just ro remind you..........by this time last month. Ayatollah was holding a high level security meeting with all the heads of Iranian military formations/forces, 20 in number. Today, Ayatollah is in the same conference room with the skeletons and and ghost of all the 20 military generals, no single one of them is alive again. Ayatollah to ayatoilet 😒 🙄 😑 🤣 😂

Can you show us also the devastated area in Iran that led to 937 dead when Israel hit Iran

This time around, America will finish them , are they aware that the straits do not belong to them alone The bordering countries like Kuwait, UAE and Others has their part of the straits, they can mine their side but anything beyond that will bring the wrath of the world on them... The next thing we will hear, freedom for Iran.. I'm happy to will affect Saudi and the rest as well...

hustler2828:
This guy do you even take time to read what you write before posting? So the countries you mentioned will stand by and watch a ragtag Iran close the Strait. Have you for once considered the devastating effects the closing of the Strait of Hormuz will have on Iran? Your brains have power, harness its powers, please.

Islamists are like that- always clinging to any piece of propaganda to console them. They're always living in denial.

Raf4:
May be you think that strait of Hormuz is a sole private property of Iran.

Russia and China need that route more than the West.

It's definitely not the property of US and its Nato allies. Abi does the strait of hormuz share any geographical location or border with Texas, paris, or berlin?

It's surely situated within the geographical location between Iran and Oman and not between the Imperialistic White House and its Nato allies.

Agreed China and Russia needs the route so does the west! and that's why i said Iran can controls which shipping vessels navigates through. Iran allowing only vessels only associated with China and Russia interest is infact will be a booming business for the 3Brics countries as they can determine the cost of Energy prices in US and Europe. If the US and its goons can use the tool of sanctions, threats of assasinations, wars and bombings that affects the economies of the world, especially those that does not allies with its interest, why can Iran use the tool available to it via the strait of hormuz to fight western hegemony?

It seems you so much fancies western imperialistic tendencies, No?

Go straight to the point, you loathe the west. If Iran has balls let one si gle commercial vessel explode in the strait first and see what happens. Iran will be forced to relocate it's capital to her northern flags. Rubbish

That might be how you view it. But we all saw how Iran was indiscriminately throwing ballistic missiles on civilians, if they had nuclear weapons that day that's exactly how they'd have thrown it. But Israel on the other hand, had over a hundred fighter jets flying over Iran for twelve days yet they never dropped any bomb on any civilians. That is how to know a decent country and a decent army, same cannot be said about Iran who have sponsored terrorism all over middle east.
