Tehran. Since the launch of America-Israel’s Operation ‘Epic Fury’ against Iran, the entire West Asia is sitting on a pile of gunpowder. The Strait of Hormuz, which is considered the lifeline of the world’s oil trade, has now become a battlefield. This tension has sent oil prices skyrocketing. Iran is sitting in chokehold on this route. Sometimes he talks about opening this route and sometimes he fires missiles here.
According to media reports, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps claimed on Saturday that they have targeted another ship in the Strait of Hormuz. This time the target was an oil tanker flying the flag of Marshall Islands. Iran alleges that this tanker is the property of terrorist America. A suicide drone was used for this attack, which hit the ship in the middle of the Persian Gulf. This attack has happened at a time when America and Israel have intensified the bombing of Tehran’s oil bases.
25 percent of the world’s marine oil passes through this route. Iran has been claiming control over this sea route for the last 8 days. The IRGC has warned that no ship belonging to America or Israel will be allowed to pass through here. There have also been attacks on ships in the last few days. Due to these attacks, many big shipping companies have stopped sending their ships through this route, which has created panic in the global market.
According to the report, US President Donald Trump is currently adopting a very aggressive stance against Iran. He has demanded unconditional surrender from Iran. Trump has claimed that American attacks have broken the back of Iran and now the time for talks has passed. On the other hand, Iran’s President Masoud Pejeshkian has rejected this demand outright, saying that this is a dream that he will take to his grave. Instead of accepting defeat, Iran is now targeting American bases in neighboring countries.
