With Trump asking her to commit suicide 3 ships and oil tanks burn The oil battle rages in Hormuz
The oil battle raged on Wednesday as Iran continued to impose a new reality in the Strait of Hormuz, with the targeting of oil installations recorded.
Exclusive – Al-Khabar Al-Yemeni:
US President Donald Trump renewed his demand for oil ships to cross the strait.
Trump’s demands came as the targeting of 3 new ships in the strait that attempted to break the Iranian embargo happened in recent hours.
Videos showed ships burning off the coast of the UAE, another off the Omani coast, and a third in the middle of the strait.
The ships’ operations coincided with incidents of targeting fuel tanks and oil and gas facilities in the Gulf, the latest being the Salalah tanks in Oman. Iranian forces had renewed their threat to prevent a single liter of oil from reaching America and its allies in the region.
Trump asked the ships to commit suicide in the strait following his talk about Iran laying mines there and begged Iran to remove the mines.
Trump’s statements about mines—which are belied by American reports about oil ships crossing into China, India, and East Asia—came as his forces were unable to open the strait by force, as they attempted to send the aircraft carrier fleet “Lincoln” but were met with significant resistance that forced it to retreat more than 1,000 nautical miles from Iranian waters.
The developments in Hormuz come as the global oil crisis continues.
Britain announced its decision to withdraw nearly 13.5 million barrels from its strategic stockpile. Britain is one of the G7 countries that offered to draw from its strategic stockpile to calm the global market, in which oil prices reached nearly $150 a barrel before retreating on optimism of an end to the American war.
