The U.S. Army has started a blockade of all Iranian ports so that no ships can enter or leave Iran, increasing pressure on the country. Donald Trump wants to intensify pressure on Iran. However, Iran has warned that if the U.S. If it continues the blockade of its ports, it will attack ports across the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. This could further increase oil prices, and the conflict may escalate once again.
According to Iranian media reports, security in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman will not be for one country alone—if there is security, it must be for all. The Iranian army has said that if its ports are blockaded, then no port in this region will remain safe
Before this warning from Iran, the U.S. had already started the blockade of Iranian ports. Now, only time will tell what happens next in this region.
The U.S. Central Command has stated that ships from any country should maintain distance from Iranian ports, as no vessel will be allowed to enter or leave these ports. It has been warned that the blockade will be enforced on ships of all nations, and if any country’s vessel tries to approach Iranian ports, it could face military action.
On Friday in Pakistan, after a 21-hour meeting between the U.S. and Iran, no solution was reached. Following this meeting, the U.S. made the decision to impose a blockade on Iranian ports. Meanwhile, speaking to the BBC, Keir Starmer said that the United Kingdom will not be involved in blocking Iranian ports.
Following reports of the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports, crude oil prices have increased by 8%, reaching $104.24 per barrel in the oil market. Meanwhile, international benchmark Brent crude has risen by 7% to $102.29 per barrel. In the U.S.–Iran conflict, the biggest issue right now revolves around crude oil and gas.”
When this conflict began, crude oil prices were around $70 per barrel. After some time, they surged to over $119 per barrel. However, when talks between the U.S. and Iran started on Friday, Brent crude futures fell by 0.8% to $95.20 per barrel.
