Iran has threatened to completely close the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway for global oil transportation, amid escalating tensions with the United States. This threat comes after former US President Donald Trump issued a 48-hour ultimatum, the details of which remain unclear but likely relate to Iran's nuclear program or regional activities. The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow channel between Oman and Iran, connecting the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea.Articles about this topic
