The Strait of Hormuz remains open to all shipping ​except vessels linked to “Iran’s enemies”, Iranian media reports ‌published on Sunday quoted Iran’s representative to the U.N. maritime agency as saying.

Ali Mousavi’s comments came from an interview ​published on Friday by Chinese news agency Xinhua, ​before U.S. President Donald Trump’s threat to target ⁠Iranian power plants if the strait was not “fully ​open” within 48 hours.

The threat of Iranian attacks during ​the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran has kept most ships from getting through the narrow strait, the conduit for around a fifth ​of global oil and liquefied natural gas supplies, ​threatening a global energy shock.

      P2025 is literally all about bankrupting the USA and selling it to billionaires and enslaving the population.

      This is just part of the plan

      Trump’s tariffs on the whole world are also effectively self-imposed sanctions on the USA.

          Anyone that mines waters keeps charts to navigate through. Since mines were invented. I remember reading about the Japanese getting the Russian charts in 1911 or whatever around then, to invade the far east, where they wiped out the russian fleet, the arrogant russians not fearing a non white country, despite their astronomic industrialization with the help of european powers, and ingenious finance arraangements building industries with government capital then auctioning them to private industry and using that money to start the next industrialization. The most rapid development of any country ever as I read it.
