According to CCTV News, on June 22 local time, Kusari, a member of the National Security Committee of the Iranian parliament, publicly stated that the parliament has reached an agreement on closing the Strait of Hormuz. This strategic waterway is located between Oman and Iran, connecting the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. It is the sole passage for about one-third of the world's seaborne crude oil trade and is known as the "world's oil valve". Although the conclusion of the Iranian parliament has been reached, Kusari emphasized that the final decision-making power still lies in the hands of Iran's Supreme National Security Council. This move has drawn high attention from the international community, and market concerns about the regional situation have risen rapidly.
The conflict between the United States and Iran has escalated. The US air strikes have directly targeted Iran's nuclear facilities
Behind the conflict lies the fierce confrontation between the United States and Iran. CCTV News reported that on June 21, the US military launched a fierce strike against Iran: six ground-drilling bombs were precisely targeted at the Fordo nuclear facility, and another 30 Tomahawk missiles were bombed other nuclear facilities. US President Trump said outright that the United States has launched a full-scale attack on the three nuclear bases of Fordo, Natanz and Isfahan. U.S. officials disclosed that the B-2 stealth bombers were deeply involved in this operation, highlighting the tough containment stance of the United States against Iran's nuclear capabilities. This series of air strikes directly exacerbated the geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, casting a shadow over the security outlook of the Strait of Hormuz.
