U.S. Defense Secretary on Hormuz Force Potential
The article concerns the escalation of tensions between the United States and Iran over the Strait of Hormuz. US Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin confirmed that Washington does not rule out the use of military force in the region. Washington believes that Iran cannot withstand economic pressures and recognizes that the United States controls the strait, through which regional oil flows. In response, Iran announced that it has blacklisted 45 oil tankers for violating transit rules and threatened to seize shipments and impose sanctions. Additionally, the United States has expanded secondary sanctions against Iran in an effort to cut off all its supporting economic activities, aiming to end the conflict that is driving up energy prices.
