Iran threatens to mine Persian Gulf as Trump considers occupying oil island
Share:
Iran has threatened to mine the entire Persian Gulf in response to an ultimatum from US President Donald Trump regarding the Strait of Hormuz. The escalating tensions between the two nations could further destabilize global oil markets. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical shipping route through which approximately one-fifth of the world's oil passes, making any disruption to the waterway a significant threat to global energy supplies and economic stability.
