Iran's Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a stern warning to the United States, stating that the strategic Strait of Hormuz will remain closed until the US ceases its alleged blockade of Iranian ports. The Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman, is a critical artery for global oil trade, with over 20% of the world's seaborne oil passing through it. The IRGC's threat comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and the US, with the latter imposing sanctions on Iran's oil exports in an effort to cripple the country's economy. As the standoff continues, the international community holds its breath, bracing for the potential consequences of a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz on global energy markets.
