Iran-America tension is at its peak. The US Navy has laid siege to Iranian ports, in response to which Iran has also warned. Due to this, crude oil prices have crossed $100 and the fear of war in the region has increased.
Dubai: The tension between Iran and America has reached a dangerous point. The US Navy has started a siege of Iran’s ports. America’s Central Command has clearly said that any ship coming to and from Iran’s coasts and ports will be stopped. The Donald Trump government has taken this tough step after the failure of peace talks in Pakistan. Its aim is to completely weaken Iran’s economy.
Iran’s Army and Revolutionary Guards have also retaliated against this action of America and given a serious warning. Iran has announced that if its ports are targeted, no port in the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman will be safe. Iran’s stance is clear – ‘Security will either be for everyone, or for no one’. The effect of this tension is also visible. The Strait of Hormuz, where about 135 ships used to pass every day, now has almost no traffic.
President Trump has said that this blockade will be fully implemented from 7:30 pm Indian time today. As soon as this news arrived, there was a stir in the oil markets around the world. Crude oil prices have increased rapidly and have crossed $100 per barrel. It is being told that the peace talks broke down because America had rejected Iran’s demands. Iran wanted to be compensated for its economy and property destroyed in the war. Now the ceasefire period is going to end on 22nd April, in such a situation the whole world is afraid of a big war breaking out in this area.
