Iran’s Navy has reported that it damaged 7 ships within 24 hours. These include 4 ships carrying oil, which were attacked simultaneously and caught fire. At the same time, three ships collided with landmines west of Hormuz.
Iran alleges that despite warnings, these ships passed through such sea routes through which they were not allowed. After this all four ships were attacked simultaneously.
Iran has not provided complete information about the names of the ships, their owners and the damage caused to them.
On October 19, Iran targeted an oil tanker in Hormuz.
Movement of oil tankers from Hormuz decreased by 99%
According to the Strategic Energy Map website, on October 20, the number of oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz decreased by about 99% compared to normal days.
This means that on normal days, if 100 tankers used to pass through this route, only about 1 tanker passed that day.
The Strait of Hormuz connects the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea. A large part of the oil supply in the world goes through this route. There is a danger of oil supply being affected and prices increasing due to reduced movement of ships here.
Iran warns America of attack
Iran has accused the US of inciting ships to pass through sea routes laden with mines.
The Iranian Navy warned that if the US continued such actions, the scope of retaliatory attacks could be increased. In this, American military bases present in West Asia can also be targeted.
Iran said its navy was controlling the movement of ships in the Strait of Hormuz. However, there has been no immediate response from America on these allegations.
Trump said – something will happen soon
US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that America is not currently negotiating with Iran. He said that something could happen soon, but did not say what further steps America would take.
Trump also said that America is performing well against Iran on both the military and economic fronts.
Report- America-Israel prepared for new attacks on Iran
According to the report of American newspaper The New York Times, America and Israel have prepared plans to launch new attacks on Iran after the US midterm elections.
These include plans to target Iran’s energy sites, nuclear facilities and missile-drone sites.
According to the report, America is preparing to increase its military deployment in West Asia by the beginning of November.
This may include three aircraft carriers, thousands of marine soldiers and fighter aircraft.
Iran also threatened to retaliate
Iran has also warned of retaliation amid possible American attacks. Iran’s Revolutionary Guards spokesman Hossein Mohibi said that America has the ‘Mother of all Bombs’, while Iran will show it the ‘Father of all Bombs’.
Iranian President Masoud Pazhakian said that the current situation is not good for Iran, West Asia and the entire world. He said that despite pressure and war, Iran is standing strong and will continue to do so in future also.
Tension in the region has risen amid Iranian claims of attacks on ships in Hormuz and a sharp decline in the movement of oil tankers. If movement on the sea route remains affected for a long time, it may affect the supply and prices of oil around the world.
