Iran warns that tension is rising and keeps international markets on alert. Tehran insists it will block exports and imports into the Persian Gulf, the Oman Sea and the Red Sea if threats persist.
In this context, the focus is on the negotiations in Pakistan, which are considered key to reducing tension. Uncertainty has become apparent in various economic sectors, pending the impact of the escalation of the conflict.
In the Basque Country, the Minister for Tourism, Javier Hurtado, has for the time being downplayed the impact it may have on the sector, although he has acknowledged that what will happen will depend on the course of the war and the duration of the crisis.
