Why is Iran threatening to block Strait of Hormuz?
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard’s navy commander warned of potential retaliation against Israel for suspected air strikes on Iran’s consulate in Syria’s capital. He stated that Iran views Israel’s presence in the UAE as a threat and could close the strategic Strait of Hormuz if necessary.
The strait, through which about one-fifth of the world’s oil consumption passes daily, holds significant global importance. It is an important choke point connecting the Persian Gulf with the Gulf of Oman in the Arabian Sea. It is located in the Middle East, bordering Iran, the United Arab Emirates, and Oman.
In the past as well, Abraham Accords brokered by USA between Israel and Middle East countries viz UAE, Morocco and Bahrain along with regular attempts to sabotage the Iranian Nuclear Power Program and killing of Iranian military generals has made this strait hotbed of Geopolitics.
