Iranian Terror Regime Orders Strait of Hormuz Closed

The Iranian Parliament has just ordered the closing of the Strait of Hormuz. They have been threatening this for months, years. Make no mistake the US and Israel have a plan for these suicidal jihadis.

The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.

The strait handles around 26 percent of global oil trade, making it one of the most strategically important maritime passages in the world.

That the murdering mullahs are in charge of this critical waterway is a terrible wrong that must be righted.

“The Strait of Hormuz will be closed within a few hours.”

Iran Parliament Approves Closure Of Hormuz Strait, A Key Oil Corridor: Report

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical chokepoints, through which a fifth of global oil and gas supply flows

By: NDTV News Desk, Jun 22, 2025:

New Delhi: Iran’s parliament has approved the closure of the key oil shipping route Strait of Hormuz after the US bombed three of its nuclear facilities, state media Press TV reported today.

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical chokepoints, through which a fifth of global oil and gas supply flows.

It connects the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. The narrow channel, approximately 33 km wide at the narrowest point, separates Iran (north) from the Arabian Peninsula (south).

But shipping lanes in the waterway are even narrower – 3 km wide in each direction, making them vulnerable to attacks and threats of being shut down, which Iran has decided to do now.

The bulk of oil exports from regional powerhouses – Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the UAE, Qatar, Iran, and Kuwait – must transit this narrow waterway. In the past, it was the West – chiefly the US and Europe – that stood most exposed to disruption in Persian Gulf energy flows, but today it is China and Asia that would bear the brunt of any closure.

For India, the Strait of Hormuz is important as about 2 million barrels per day (bpd) of crude oil out of its total import of 5.5 million bpd transits through the narrow waterway.

Having diversified its sources of imports, India, however, is unlikely to lose sleep even if the Strait of Hormuz is shut down as alternative sources from Russia to the US and Brazil are readily available to fill any void, industry officials and analysts said.

Russian oil is logistically detached from the Strait of Hormuz, flowing via the Suez Canal, Cape of Good Hope, or the Pacific Ocean.

On gas, India’s principal supplier Qatar does not use the Strait of Hormuz for supplies. India’s other sources of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in Australia, Russia and the US would be untouched by any closure.

The heightened tensions in the world’s largest energy supply basket would however have a near-term impact on prices, with oil prices likely to jump to $80 per barrel, analysts said.
