Iran: US begins blockade of Strait of Hormuz as oil prices rise

Video Overview & Insights

Donald Trump has defended his US blockade of the Strait of Hormuz and insisted Iranian leaders wanted to "make a deal, very badly". He claimed Iran was not doing any business in the Strait and added "we're going to keep it that way".

Once US ditterence of naval blockade is removed, IRAN will surely keep open Hormuz for all. Then US-IRAN may come on table for peace talk diplomatically. This may be the best logic to bring peace in middle east failing which war will revive again causing a great global economic recession.

As the price of oil surged past a hundred dollars a barrel, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said the UK and France would co-host a summit later this week to discuss how to restore shipping through Hormuz.

Haha… this didn’t age well did it. You and your ‘expert’ laughed but within 3 days Trumps tactics of blockading the blockade worked and the strait was opened. I think you will need better ‘experts’ in the future.

Not that anyone of this generation has any knowledge of history, but America cut off the oil supply of Japan in the the late 1930's and early 1940's. They were being strangled to death because of it and were left with no option other than war, Pearl Harbor/WWII. China gets almost all it's oil from Iran and now is unable to do so because of the American blockade.
Draw your own conclusions and pray history which repeats itself so very often, does not this time.

Ch4 News, now there's a contradiction in terms. Isn't it typical this useless channel only offer the far left opinion on President Trump, not the true facts. But it is an anti-Trump channel, what else would you expect?

What a tangled web we weave when we first practice to deceive. This is Trump's mess and Trump can clear it up. He is also too stupid to realise that Netanyahu is using him and it should be blatantly obvious to the goons in the US government that persuading the Israelis to stop bombing Lebanon is the quickest way to reopening the Strait of Hormuz! Blockading a blockade, not only sounds ridiculous, it is ridiculous. Also, it only serves to escalate the conflict further and rile up US friendly nations as well as its enemies in the process. I have no intention of appearing to support the Iranian regime, but the US government keeps digging an ever bigger hole for itself and makes Iran look far better than it ought to!

Biden organized the Proxy War & wanted Ukraine to fight to the last Ukrainian for “Democracy” !

Netanyahu organizes the Iran War & wants the US to fight to the last American for Israel !

Trump is turning the United States into a Rogue State and a wicked Vassal State of Israel !

@barrychmak7852

Surely this report should read America breaks ceasefire by attempting to blockade Iranian ports? Israel must be under considerable threat if their population is in favour of dragging the world into a potentially catastrophic war. Seems like everyone values personal greed over peace and stability? Not looking good at the moment folks, the west is crying out for some decent leaders. Ps Mark Carney won't be it.....

Of course he did. When you make a bet that the price will rise about 200 per barrel, you do everything you can to ensure it does.

Iran frontman Prof Marandi's narrative is clever in manipulating media support for Iran. Yet why has Iran produced 60% enriched uranium (in violation of their signature to fhe 2015 JCPOA Agreement) and then hidden it in hardened underground bunkers, when it has zero civil applications ?

Did this give the US & Israel a valid cause to halt Iran's apparently duplicitous progress to having nuclear weapons, after its many decades of threats of "Death to America" and to wipe out the state of Israel ? Two wrongs don't make a right, and the current war has not provided a solution to these questions.

I have sympathy for Iran (and the Palestinians in Gaza) but the current conflict over nuclear development is of Iran's own making. However, having an imbecile as C-in-C doesn't help the US cause either, and the Zionist genocide of Palestinians is an unforgivable war crime.

Countries affected should seize assets of the USA and American oligarchs and utilise it to subsidise the increased costs of the US war. If its good to do it to Russia its good to do it to any other country. Mind you seizing the assets of Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg the world will be better for it.
