Iran Responds to US Ultimatum with Threat to Close Strait of Hormuz
Share:
Iran has threatened to completely close the Strait of Hormuz in response to ultimatums from the United States. The Iranian response comes as a reaction to threats made by Donald Trump. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical waterway through which approximately one-fifth of global oil shipments pass, connecting the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea. Any closure of this strategic chokepoint would significantly disrupt international energy markets and global trade routes.
