Ali Larijani, Secretary of the Supreme National Security Council of Iran, issued a stern message regarding the closed Strait of Hormuz. Stating that they will not back down from the decision, Larijani said, "The Strait of Hormuz will either be a strait of peace and prosperity for everyone or a strait of defeat and suffering for the warmongers."
The Secretary General of Iran's Supreme National Security Council, Ali Larijani, made evaluations regarding the Strait of Hormuz, which his country has closed to the passage of ships connected to the US-Israel.
"HORMUZ WILL BE A BITTER ."
In a message shared on the social media account of American Company X, Larijani stated, "The Strait of Hormuz will either be a strait of peace and prosperity for everyone or a strait of defeat and bitterness for warmongers."
THE IMPORTANCE OF THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ
The Strait of Hormuz is considered the most critical and sensitive "jugular vein" of global energy security; approximately one-third of the world's oil transported by sea and a significant portion of liquefied natural gas (LNG) pass through this narrow waterway. This strait, located between Oman and Iran, with its narrowest point being about 33 kilometers, is a challenging alternative that connects the major oil producers in the Persian Gulf to the open seas.
During periods of escalating regional tensions, the possibility of closing the strait has caused panic waves in global energy markets and rapid price increases, making control and navigation security over Hormuz a geopolitical issue that directly affects not only the regional countries but the entire world economy.
US-ISRAEL'S ATTACKS ON IRAN
Israel and the US launched a military attack on Iran on February 28 while negotiations were ongoing between the Tehran and Washington administrations. Iran responded with attacks on targets it identified in some regional countries, including Qatar, the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Bahrain, where US bases are located, in addition to Israel.
In the US-Israel attacks, many high-ranking officials, including Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, were killed. According to Iranian officials, 1,332 people lost their lives in the US-Israel attacks.
