Iran to Respond by Blocking Navigation through Hormuz Strait: The New York Times

Former U.S. President Donald Trump has underestimated Iran's capabilities and its influence on the global energy market. This is reported by The New York Times, referencing Washington's policy towards Tehran.

According to the newspaper, several experts had warned about potential consequences, but the U.S. administration opted for a rapid military action approach. In Washington, it was presumed that neutralizing Iran's top leadership could quickly lead to the collapse of the country's political system.

The newspaper assesses that Iran will respond by restricting or blocking navigation through the Strait of Hormuz. In this case, international maritime transport and global energy supplies could be at risk.
