Iran's Guards accuse US of endangering global oil supply

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has accused the United States of endangering global oil and gas supplies through its actions in the strategic Strait of Hormuz. The renewed hostilities have intensified concerns over the security of international energy markets.

IRGC spokesman Hossein Mohebi stated that Washington has "seriously endangered the security of the world’s oil and gas supply and must be held accountable." He further asserted in a post on X, formerly Twitter, that Tehran "will continue to exercise sovereignty over and management of the Strait of Hormuz."

Washington had “seriously endangered the security of the world’s oil and gas supply and must be held accountable”.

The accusation comes as tensions remain high in the Persian Gulf region. The Strait of Hormuz is a vital chokepoint for global energy trade, and any disruption to its security can have significant repercussions on oil prices and supply chains worldwide.

Iran's assertion of sovereignty and management over the strait underscores its determination to maintain control over this critical waterway, even amidst heightened geopolitical tensions with the United States.
