Tehran says only countries expelling Israeli and US ambassadors will be allowed passage through the Strait of Hormuz
Iran has issued a strong warning amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, stating that it will not allow even a single litre of oil to leave its territory under the current circumstances. Iranian officials have indicated that strict measures could be taken to control oil exports and shipping routes in the region.
According to statements from Tehran, countries that decide to expel the ambassadors of Israel and the United States from their territories will be allowed safe passage for their ships through the strategically important Strait of Hormuz. Iran suggested that this step is part of its broader strategy to respond to ongoing geopolitical tensions and international pressure.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical maritime routes, through which a significant portion of global oil supply passes every day. Any disruption in this waterway could have a major impact on international energy markets and global trade.
Analysts warn that such statements could further intensify tensions in the region and lead to volatility in oil prices worldwide. Governments and global energy markets are closely monitoring the situation as diplomatic efforts continue to prevent further escalation.
