The war in the Middle East is not ending. Here once again clouds of crisis have started looming in the Gulf of Hormuz. Iran also announced the opening of this route on Friday, and the US President also posted a thank you. But now again on Saturday Iran has closed this route. Military control has been re-imposed here. Apart from this, news of firing on two ships has been reported. This news has come at a time when the world was hopeful that this path was opening.
On behalf of Iran, IRGC spokesperson said that Ibrahim Zulfagri gave the statement. It said that control over the Gulf of Hormuz has been restored as before. Until America lifts the restrictions on Iranian ships, this gulf will remain closed. Ibrahim Azizi, head of the National Security Committee of the Iranian Parliament, said that now every commercial ship passing through the route will have to obtain permission from the IRGC Navy.
Supply of so many barrels of oil affected in the world
Apart from this, International Energy Agency has said that this is the biggest oil supply crisis in history. The supply of more than one crore barrels of oil is being affected every day. There has been a 20 percent shortage of gas in the world. This is affecting the prices of petrol, diesel and gas.
At least two ships fired upon
Quoting AP, it was reported that at least two ships were fired upon via Hormuz. In such a situation, the danger to oil tankers and their crew has increased. Earlier, ceasefire was announced in Israel and Lebanon. America came forward and helped in this. After this Iran decided to open Hormuz for a short time.

Many ships returned midway
After the opening of Hormuz, convoys of ships passed through this route. Many ship owners were hopeful that they would be able to rescue their ships under the cover of this ceasefire. In such a situation, many ships turned back after arriving, the reason being that the routes were not completely opened.
America is doing piracy and theft
Meanwhile, Iran termed America’s blockade as arbitrary and said that they are committing piracy and theft. America is not letting its ships go. Iran is also stopping ships of other countries.
