The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical focal point in the ongoing geopolitical tension between the United States and Iran. As a vital artery for the global energy market, this narrow waterway facilitates the transit of approximately one-fifth of the world’s total oil supply. While Iran has historically used the threat of closing the strait as a strategic lever against economic sanctions, the United States maintains a significant naval presence in the region to ensure that international shipping lanes remain open and secure for global trade.
- The Strait of Hormuz is the world’s most important oil chokepoint, connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.
- Approximately 20% of the world’s liquid petroleum passes through the 21-mile-wide waterway every day.
- The channel is a primary export route for major oil-producing nations, including Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates.
- Iran has periodically threatened to block maritime traffic in the strait in response to U.S. sanctions and diplomatic pressure.
- The U.S. Fifth Fleet, headquartered in nearby Bahrain, is tasked with protecting commercial shipping and ensuring freedom of navigation in the area.

The UK economy is collapsing due to Reeves and the BOE. People can see with their own eyes the UK is deteriorating badly. Can we concentrate on how quick the UK is falling and soon an Island of desperation to get out.
What's next? Whatever Iran says.
Don t forget MAD. If iran just wanted to have an A bomb to nuke a country, they d be nuked straight back. So their desire is surely a bit more subtle.
Why hasn t israel nuked iran or lebanon? Another clue.
US-Iran? Why no mention of the country which started all this?
Iran's nukes are in North Korea, in case you're looking for them
Can't beat TOUSI TV for the real facts and real truth 👍
Pokemon was 30 years ago….so that you know haha
Trump launches an unprovoked, sneak attack on a sovereign state while in the middle of negotiations, and expects Iran to roll over on command.
Trump needs to admit defeat and move on.

How is Tory Mouthpiece Laura K still employed by the BBC?
Hitler too argued that he had the right to have the atomic bomb .
Gentle people – you hardly talk about the elephant in the room. So, oh no, definitely NO nuke for Iran. But you talk as if it's perfectly OK and therefore justified to slaughter 200,000 Gazans, obliterate Palestinian homes (and hospitals and schools and culture) to the ground in the Gaza Strip; then not least the slaughter of 2,000 Lebanese, whilst reducing Southern Lebanon to rubble; AND ITS STILL GOING ON! So please get your moral clarity sorted before you pass judgement on this "excursion" with horrific war crimes. The opportunistic sadistic expansionism we are seeing is obscene, inhumane, and totally unforgivable. The number of refugees in both regions is now off the scale.

Trump says the US has blockaded the Strait , Iran says they have opened it – Ships start moving through – Iran says they have closed it again ships stop. Nothing Trump says can be believed
I don't care about the Mandelson issue – it's a Westminster legal argument. A leadership battle is the last thing the UK needs or wants. Starmer's done a decent job around Iran (particularly when you consider Badenoch would have thrown the UK fully into the war) so he's good enough for now
12 days of the first round and 40 days of the second round of U.S./Israel War of aggression and Iran has won both rounds convincingly.
Bring it on blackeyed peabrain Trump.
Tucsi TV is telling the truth go there to find out what is actually happening in the Middle East
It's just a small break. The real war hasn't started yet.
The biggest ever deficit in U.S. history is going to stop the Trump war.
