Iran claims control of both sides of Strait of Hormuz
Original: "Iran controls both sides of Strait of Hormuz: Top army cmdr." # Taco # Nacho # News # Politics # Nato # Military # Russ
A top Iranian army commander has stated that Iran controls both sides of the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow waterway between Iran and Oman through which a large share of the world's oil passes. The remark underscores Tehran's leverage over global energy shipments and comes amid heightened tensions involving the United States, Israel and regional naval forces.
Why now: Ongoing tensions over Iran's role in the region and the strait's critical importance to global oil supplies keep the statement in the spotlight.
