Donald Trump announced the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz
The American naval blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, as announced by Trump, is to begin on Monday, April 13 at. 4 p.m. Polish time. The U.S. Central Command for the Middle East (CENTCOM) has announced that maritime traffic will be blocked for ships entering and leaving Iranian ports. An unnamed representative of the Iranian army said in response that Tehran would implement a “permanent mechanism to control the strait.”
Keir Starmer criticized Donald Trump's actions
Last Friday, Starmer criticized the actions of the leaders of the US and Russia. He emphasized that he is fed up with Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin's actions that are causing energy prices to rise in his country. The British media considered this statement to be Starmer's harshest words against the US president so far.
In the first days of the war, which began on February 28 with the US-Israeli attack on Iran, Tehran blocked traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, which transported about one fifth of the world's volume of crude oil and liquefied natural gas.
