🚨IRAN MOVES TO BAN US & ISRAEL LINKED TANKERS FROM STRAIT OF HORMUZ🚨
Iranian parliament security officials are advancing a proposal to permanently restrict vessels linked to the United States and Israel from passing through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most critical oil transit routes
Ebrahim Azizi, head of the Iranian Parliament’s Security Council, stated the measure is part of a broader framework asserting Iran’s control over maritime access rules in the region
This follows a pattern of escalating restrictions already seen in recent months, including proposed toll systems, selective passage approvals, and “hostile nation” shipping limits that have repeatedly shaken global energy markets
The Strait of Hormuz carries roughly one fifth of global oil trade, meaning any tightening of access rules instantly feeds into global inflation and energy price volatility
Markets have already reacted sharply to similar announcements, with shipping disruptions and tanker delays adding pressure to global supply chains
If implemented in full, this move would effectively formalize a two tier shipping system in one of the world’s most strategically important waterways
The bigger question now is whether this is a negotiation signal or a structural shift toward long term maritime fragmentation in the Gulf
Either way, energy markets are not pricing in stability anymore
