Weak US allies accused of allowing Iran to dictate terms in Strait of Hormuz
Former Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy weighs in on the Iranian regime’s control over the Strait of Hormuz. “The moment the Iranians closed the Strait of Hormuz, the rest of the world should have treated that as an act of war and said, that is an act of war against the global economy,” Mr Levy told Sky News Senior Reporter Caroline Marcus. “Instead, America’s allies said, look America, you broke it, you fix it. This is your problem. “The Iranians learned that they can close the Strait of Hormuz, and no one is going to stop them because eventually America will give in to the economic and political pressure because of rising gas prices.”

‘Reducing Iran's oil exports to zero; A wish that never came true’
TEHRAN- The admission of the ineffectiveness of oil sanctions against Iran comes after the signing of the memorandum of understanding ending the war between America and the Zionist regime against Iran, voiced by American officials. This follows Mohsen Paknejad, the oil minister, having previously responded decisively to Donald Trump's maximum pressure order aimed at reducing Iran's oil exports to zero, declaring that America's maximum pressure policy on Iran's oil exports has failed and that reducing Iran's oil exports to zero is a wish they will never achieve.
