Ah, well, that's me told. I hope the Security Council realises this would hurt everyone but the US, and give Trump the card he is looking for.

Not holding my breath.

Breaking Iran's parliament approved the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

Decision needs ratified by Iran's Security Council.

It would trap 20% of the world's oil supply and send a catastrophic shock through the global economy.

Includes a photo showing the location of the Strait of Hormuzbetween Iran to the north, and the point of the UAE, side-by-side Oman, to the south. It creates a narrowing of the Persian gulf before it becomes the Gulf of Oman, and the Arabian sea, which is the access to ocean for Pakistan, a major oil customer of Iran.
