#Persian Gulf

The Speaker of the Iranian Parliament announced receiving proposals from neighbors on new security and cooperation agreements. Official Tehran is promoting a regional order without external military presence.

Iran's National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei stated on August 22 that if regional countries join US sanctions, Tehran will strike alternative Persian Gulf oil routes. The Strait of Hormuz, he said, will remain closed until Washington changes its position.

Iran's National Security Council Secretary Mohsen Rezaei warned neighboring countries that joining the US sanctions campaign against Tehran will be regarded as a hostile act. Iran outlined a three-stage strategy and threatened strikes on oil routes in the Persian Gulf.

On August 19, Iran warned the states of the Persian Gulf that support for US military forces would be treated as participation in combat operations. The statement came after the UAE suspended trade with Tehran.

🚨 US allies in the Persian Gulf are losing patience. Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar are dissatisfied with Trump's policy towards Iran. 📉 Countries are discussing the withdrawal of US bases and are seeking new partners (Turkey, Pakistan). 🗣️ Trump threatens an attack or waits for Iran's economic collapse, and also declared the capture of the Strait of Hormuz. 🇺🇸 The White House denies problems, but diplomats are recording a crisis of confidence.

🚨 Environmental Threat in the Strait of Hormuz: Two Giant Oil Spots Appear off the Coasts of Iran and Oman. Satellites have recorded spills off the islands of Qeshm and Sirri. One slick reaches 2,000 sq. km. Theories of causes range from attacks on tankers (including Minoan Pioneer and Caroline Bezengi) to technical failures. Experts warn of catastrophic consequences for the Persian Gulf ecosystem. 🌊🛢️ #StraitOfHormuz #Ecology #Oil #PersianGulf

🛢️ Oil prices are rising again: Brent exceeded $89, and WTI — $83. The cause is Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on ships in the Persian Gulf. Traffic dropped from 140 to 6 ships per day. 📉 US reserves increased, but this is not curbing the rise due to fear of war. ⚠️ Experts are debating: will oil cost $100 or is this temporary panic?

Oil prices fell amidst escalation in the Persian Gulf: investors valued actual supply realities over geopolitical threats. 📉⛽️ The US and Saudi Arabia launched joint strikes on groups in Iraq, but the market reacted with restraint. 🛢️🌍

The US has not struck Iran for the second day, interrupting a series of attacks. While Washington seeks funding and saves missiles, the Houthis attack Saudi Arabia, and Iran holds talks with Oman. 🇺🇸🇮🇷⚖️

US allies in the Middle East are demanding decisive action from Trump against Iran. Insiders report plans to deploy ground troops and seize the oil island of Kharg. Regional countries fear that a prolonged conflict will deter investors and tourists. 🇺🇸🇮🇷💰

The US-Iran conflict has entered a dangerous phase: American strikes have expanded to Iran's deep infrastructure, while Tehran has responded with attacks on allies in the region. 🚀⚡️ Despite air superiority, Washington has not achieved a turning point, and civilian infrastructure is now at risk. 🌍💥

Iran has accused the US of a missile strike on a desalination plant in Hormozgan, leaving 20 villages without water. Amidst the escalation, the IRGC warned Gulf states of a harsh response for facilitating American attacks. 💧🚀

🔥 Escalation in the Persian Gulf: The US launched a series of strikes on Iranian ports and military targets, as well as destroyed a tanker that violated the blockade. In response, Tehran attacked bases of the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain and Kuwait. 🇺🇸🇮🇷

Donald Trump has canceled the plan to introduce a 20% toll in the Strait of Hormuz 🚫💰. Instead of collecting money, the US is concluding trade deals with Arab countries, but is imposing a full blockade on vessels linked to Iran 🚢🇮🇷.
