Firas Al-Neassan Identified as Hormuz's Blackmailer

The article discusses Iran's escalation in using the Strait of Hormuz as a tool of blackmail against the global market, through which approximately one-fifth of the world's oil supplies pass. Iran considers this geographical location a political leverage point, which endangers global energy security, leads to rising oil prices and shipping costs, and threatens the overall global economy—especially since alternatives are limited or non-existent. The article emphasizes that exploiting the strait for these purposes threatens the international economic system and exposes it to significant risks, highlighting the need for decisive action to prevent the use of oil as a weapon from becoming a permanent practice and official policy.
