Iran ne saaf keh diya hai ki ab se Strait of Hormuz mein sab kuch 'strict military control' mein hoga. Iske peeche ka reason bataya gaya hai ki USA ne trust tode hain aur unki taraf se 'piracy and banditry' ho rahi hai. Iran ka kehna hai ki US ne unke ports par blockade lagaya hua hai.
Senior officials ne bataya hai ki jo vessels naye rules follow karengi aur security services ka 'kharcha' dengi, unhe priority milegi. CNN ne quote kiya hai ek official ko, jisne kaha, 'Vessels ki sankhya limited hone wali hai, isliye hum unhe priority denge jo naye protocols ko jaldi follow karein aur security & safety ka cost pay karein.' Jo pay nahi karengi, unka passage postpone kar diya jayega. Matlab, ab is crucial route se nikalne ke liye paise dene padenge.
Iran ke Central Headquarters of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) ke spokesperson ne further explain kiya. Unka kehna hai ki pehle toh Iran ne acche dil se tankers aur commercial vessels ko manage kiya tha. Lekin US ne 'commitments' tode aur 'piracy and banditry' ki. Iran ka demand hai ki jab tak Washington unki vessels ki 'complete freedom of movement' ensure nahi karta aur blockades nahi hatata, tab tak yeh situation bani rahegi.
Ab iska global trade aur energy markets par bada effect padega. Strait of Hormuz toh oil trade ke liye ek 'critical chokepoint' hai. Fees aur delays se shipping costs badh sakte hain, supply chains disrupt ho sakti hain, aur crude oil prices mein volatility aa sakti hai. Jo countries Persian Gulf se tel mangwati hain, woh sab closely follow kar rahi hain.
