Iran leverages Strait of Hormuz pressure
The article concerns the escalation of tensions between the United States and Iran over the Strait of Hormuz. Washington affirms that it has full control over the waterway and prevents Tehran from gaining control of it, while Iran demands its opening in exchange for ending the war, withdrawing American forces, and lifting the sanctions. An intelligence assessment warned that imposing military control could be costly and bloody, and that Iran is currently focusing on using the strait as leverage after its nuclear situation deteriorated. As Pakistan mediates to prevent the escalation of the conflict, maritime traffic through the strait has declined unprecedentedly, with warnings that the crisis may continue and impact global oil and energy markets.
