The recent diplomatic ceasefire brokered by Pakistan to allow commercial vessels passage into the strategic oil choke point remains shaky; amid the reclosure of the Straight of Hormus.


The Straight of Hormus is a vital route for global shipping and food chain suppliers.



On Friday, Iran made announcement for the reopening of the Staright of Hormus. The IRGC allay fears of US ‘piracy’, under the pretext of its ongoing blockade.



The U.S – Israel unconscionable war of aggression against Iran on February 28th was/is a total miscalculation. The premised of the war was to overthrow the Iranian regime, thereby controlling its political affairs.



Over the past decades, the US and the genocidal regime of Bibi have carried out horrendous carnage in the middle east, thus violating international treaties.



The US and Israel joint ‘epic fury operation’ was met with unprecedented wave of strikes across the US military bases, thus threatening food supplies in the region.



The conflict poses trickle down effects on millions of people in the middle east – who solely rely on food through the strategic choke point – the straight of hormus.


According to the International Energy Agency, about 110 billion cubic
metres of LNG passed through the Strait of Hormuz last year.


According to the Energy agency about 93pc of Qatar’s and 96pc of the UAE’s LNG exports move through the Strait, representing almost one fifth of global LNG trade.


Since the start of the conflict, the global economy thethers on the brink of collapse, with food prices soaring bringing the situation of struggling families at a dire state.


The conflict is a losing proposition on both sides. Mediators of the ceasefire need to revisit mitigation strategies, and formulate a permanent deal for peace and security in the region.
