Dalam Angka
U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) confirmed that the naval blockade against Iran, ordered by President Donald Trump, will resume on 14 July. The decision is a continuation of the restrictions implemented between 13 April and 18 June, further escalating military tensions in the region. The U.S. announced that it will blockade ships going to and coming from Iranian ports.
Trump also announced that 20 percent of the cargo value of ships transiting through the Strait of Hormuz will be collected by the U.S. as a security fee. This situation signifies a sharp departure from the U.S.'s previous stance, in which Secretary of State Marco Rubio stated in June that the strait is an international waterway and no country supports charging a transit fee. The International Maritime Organization (IMO), a body of the United Nations, opposed the upfront transit fee, stating that the decision lacks legal basis.
Following these developments, Iran claimed that it has the right to manage traffic in Hormuz and announced that it would retaliate against the U.S. While U.S. forces struck a facility at the Bandar Abbas Naval Base with maritime unmanned aerial vehicles, Iran conducted missile attacks on U.S.-allied countries such as Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Jordan, and the UAE. Before the war started, one-fifth of the world's oil and gas passed through this strait.
