The Strait of Hormuz, the most important waterway in the Middle East, is once again in the spotlight. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bakher Ghalib said that if Iran cannot sell oil, no one else in the region will be able to sell oil either.
His comments have renewed discussions on energy security and the global market. Iran has once again taken a tough stance on the Strait of Hormuz. The country's Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bakher Ghalib said that if a situation arises where Iran cannot sell oil, then no country in the region will be able to sell oil.
He also brought up an old post in which a similar warning was given in July this year. The equation of war is very clear: everyone can or no one can. If Iran is deprived of oil exports, the energy trade of the entire region will be under pressure. Behind this statement is a claim from the United States. Admiral Brad Cooper, head of the US Central Command, claimed that US forces are in full control of the Strait of Hormuz.
They have stopped Iran's oil export activities. In response, Ghalib said that the security of Hormuz will be ensured only when there is no US military presence in the region. According to him, the external military presence is a major cause of instability. The Iranian top leader also said that no infrastructure will be safe if the country's security is not ensured. After the recent conflict, the situation in the Strait of Hormuz will never return to its previous state.
The Strait of Hormuz is very important in the world's energy market. A large part of the world's oil is transported through this route every day. As a result, everyone believes that if tensions increase in the waterway, there may be concerns about oil prices and supply in the international market. This message from Tehran is a clear signal not only for Washington, but also for the energy-dependent economies of the Middle East. The world market is now watching where the situation goes.
