The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed since the start of the US‑Israeli war on Iran, sending oil prices up by 50%.
Yet despite international efforts to reopen it, this critical chokepoint remains difficult to secure. Why? Al Jazeera’s Marah Rayan explains.
I have two clear messages:
First, to the United States & Israel:
It’s high time to end this war that is risking to get out of control, causing immense suffering on civilians, with dramatic effects on the global economy & potentially tragic consequences, especially for the least developed countries.
Second, my message to Iran:
Stop attacking your neighbors, they were never parties to the conflict.
The Security Council has condemned these attacks, has ordered them to stop, as it has order to open the Strait of Hormuz.
The prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz causes enormous pain for so many people around the world who have nothing to do with this conflict.
It’s time for the force of the law to prevail over the law of the force.
It’s time for diplomacy to prevail over war.

NEW: The UK alongside France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Japan expresses readiness to contribute to appropriate efforts to ensure safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz 👇 https://t.co/KeCAbEbdWy
In 18 days, Trump has burned $24 BILLION on his Iran War. That’s enough to eliminate the maintenance backlog in our national parks & public lands—paving roads, fixing bridges, & improving water systems.
He’s burning billions overseas while neglecting America’s infrastructure.
Iran has hit the world’s largest liquefied natural gas export terminal in Qatar, according to the Qatari interior ministry.

The US-Israeli war on Iran has highlighted the importance of waterways for the free flow of global trade.

The war in Iran has already cost $22.8 billion.
For $22.8 billion, we could:
• Provide Medicaid to 6.8 million kids
• Build 2.6 million public housing units
• Fund Head Start for 1.3 million
• Hire 240,000 teachers
• Cancel $20,000 in student debt for 1 million borrowers
After much reflection, I have decided to resign from my position as Director of the National Counterterrorism Center, effective today.
I cannot in good conscience support the ongoing war in Iran. Iran posed no imminent threat to our nation, and it is clear that we started this war due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
It has been an honor serving under @POTUS and @DNIGabbard and leading the professionals at NCTC.
May God bless America.

Tshisekedi couldn't even hand over the peace agreement document to President Kagame, who was sitting right next to him.
How is he going to honor the agreement if he can't manage this simple gesture?
