The Middle East has entered the third week of the war amid attacks and looking at the Strait of Hormuz
Israel and Iran have intensified their bombings as uncertainty about global energy transport grows. The US has temporarily opened the market for Iranian crude oil and has not clarified whether it will intervene in Hormuz.
The Middle East has entered the third week of the war without any apparent de-escalation, intensifying attacks between Israel and Iran, with particular attention to the Strait of Hormuz.
In the early morning hours ofSaturday, Israel has launched further raids in Beirut and Tehran. The Israeli Defense Forces have confirmed that the first attacks have been directed against the positions of the Shia Hizbullah group in several southern neighbourhoods of the Lebanese capital.
Hours later, Israeli forces have announced a new wave of bombing of "targets of the Iranian regime" in Tehran and other parts of the country, such as Isfahan.
Iran's response
Iran responds with a coordinated attack on U.S. and Israeli interests. The Revolutionary Guard claims to have bombed five U.S. military bases and succeeded in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Iraq and Bahrain, and carried out more attacks in Tel Aviv and Haifa.
In this context, Iranian military spokesman Abolfazl Shekarchi has warned that US and Israeli officials could attack "anywhere inthe world. "
Energy crisis
In parallel with the escalation of military tension, the US has taken steps to contain the economic impact of the war. The Treasury Department has temporarily authorized the purchase and saleof Iranian oil in maritime transport with the aim of stabilizing the price of energy and increasing millions of barrels to the international market.
Saman Ghodousi, spokesman for the Iranian Ministry of Oil, has said that "the country has no surplus oil to supply other international markets "and has accused Washington of" trying to give hope to buyers and control market psychology. "
U.S. President Donald Trump has stated that he will intervene only if requested to do so by the allies to ensure the safety of the navigation, but that this possible operation will be "easy" for Washington.
On the other hand, Iran has tried to define its position on this strategic route. Foreign Minister Abbas Aragchi has assured us that Tehran has not closed the strait, but has imposed restrictions on ships from countries involved in the attacks. He has also indicated that his country is prepared to ensure safe transit to some countries if there is prior coordination.
