In response to recent U.S. strikes on its nuclear facilities, Iran’s parliament has voted to close the Strait of Hormuz, a key global energy transit route. Senior lawmaker Esmail Kowsari confirmed the decision, stating that a formal announcement will follow from the Supreme National Security Council. The move comes amid rising tensions and silence from the international community. Experts warn the closure could spike oil prices by up to 80% and severely disrupt global energy supplies.
