Washington warns of naval blockade on Iran
The United States has threatened to continue imposing an unlimited naval blockade against Iran and to escalate economic pressures, especially amid stalled ceasefire negotiations and rising tensions in the region. Iran has attempted to assert control over the Strait of Hormuz by launching attacks on oil tankers, with the number of passing ships decreasing from 130-140 vessels before the war to around 8 daily. The United States has confirmed its ability to maintain a continuous naval presence through a rotating system of ships, while Iran threatens to keep the passage closed until Washington lifts sanctions and unfreezes assets, which would impact global oil supplies. At the same time, the International Energy Agency warned of a reduction in global oil supply by 4.3 million barrels per day this year, amid escalating economic concerns due to military operations in the region.
