Iran remains defiant over the Strait of Hormuz as U.S. President Donald Trump warns Americans to prepare for persistently high gas prices. Despite ongoing progress towards peace talks and the halt in oil tanker traffic through the strategic waterway, Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Kazem Gharibabadi stated that the strait will only be opened or closed under Iran's authority.
If the U.S. and Israel refuse to acknowledge Iran's victory and cease their delusions, Iran will continue to maintain the blockade. The U.S. gasoline prices have surged by 29% year-on-year. Foreign Minister Abbas Araqchi revealed that Iran has not yet decided to resume negotiations with the U.S. and emphasized that Washington must meet specific conditions regarding the strait before shipping can resume.
The Strait of Hormuz, which once facilitated one-fifth of the world's oil, continues to be a focal point of the conflict between Iran, the U.S., and Israel, launched on February 28.
