Kremlin Condemns U.S. Strait of Hormuz Blockade Plan

The Kremlin has criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's proposal to blockade the Strait of Hormuz, warning it could negatively impact global markets. The U.S. military announced plans to halt shipping traffic, aiming to block Iranian oil exports and tighten global oil supply, but many details remain ambiguous.

The Kremlin has expressed its disapproval of U.S. President Donald Trump's announcement to blockade the Strait of Hormuz. Moscow warned that such an action could have detrimental effects on global markets.

The U.S. military stated it would commence blocking shipping traffic to and from Iran's ports at 10 a.m. ET (1400 GMT) on Monday. This move is intended to prevent about two million barrels of Iranian oil daily from entering global markets, further tightening supply.

However, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov indicated that many aspects of the U.S. proposal remain unclear, raising concerns and uncertainties.
