Iran’s ‘new nuclear weapon’: Weaponised geography in Strait of Hormuz

Former Middle East negotiator Aaron David Miller says the terms of the US peace talks with Iran are going to be “incredibly difficult” to negotiate. “I’m reminded of what the Taliban said, in reference to American efforts in Afghanistan. You have the clock; the Taliban said, we have the time,” Mr Miller told Sky News Australia. “We’re not going back to February 27 when 20 per cent of global oil supply flowed. It’s not going to be free and unfettered anymore. “That is the new Iranian nuclear weapon. They’ve weaponised geography, and they’ve done it with a terrifying clarity and impact.”

Iran Completely Closes Strait of Hormuz, Strikes Civilian Vessel

Iran has completely closed the Strait of Hormuz to all shipping after the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) struck and stopped a civilian vessel that allegedly ignored course changes. The IRGC declared the blockade will remain until US “interference” ceases and warned that US regional bases could be targeted if Washington retaliates. The escalation follows Washington’s ultimatum for maritime security and its demand that Tehran surrender its entire 410-kilogram stockpile of enriched uranium, or “nuclear dust,” for any final diplomatic deal.
