Iran Is Seriously Considering Closing the Strategic Strait of Hormuz

  • On June 13, Israel carried out unprecedented strikes targeting Iran’s nuclear facilities, military installations, and civilian neighborhoods, intensifying regional tensions.
  • In response to the attacks, Iran’s parliament is advancing legislation aimed at exiting the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, alongside increasing demands to shut down the Strait of Hormuz.
  • Iran has threatened to close the Strait of Hormuz, a vital maritime passage through which roughly 18 to 21 million barrels of crude oil are transported daily, a move that could significantly disrupt global energy supply and markets.
  • Gregory Brew warned that while closing the strait is Tehran's last big card to play, such action would trigger major responses from the US and Gulf allies and is unlikely to be carried out.
  • Analysts believe that Iran is not expected to withdraw from the treaty or close the Strait of Hormuz in the near term; however, rising tensions raise concerns about regional instability and potential disruptions to the global oil market.
