News India Live, Digital Desk: Iran has played a big diplomatic gamble amid the ongoing war and tension in West Asia. After tightening its grip on the Strait of Hormuz, known as the world’s ‘energy artery’, Iran has now put three strict conditions before President Donald Trump for reopening it. Iran has made it clear that it is not ready to succumb to America’s economic blockade and it is mandatory to fulfill these conditions before nuclear talks.
Those 3 conditions of Iran, which increased Trump’s tension According to reports, Iran has sent its proposal to America through Pakistan. These conditions are as follows:
End of economic blockade: America should immediately lift the military and economic blockade imposed on Iran and its ports.
Freedom to export oil: Iranian oil tankers and cargo ships should be allowed to move freely in international waters without any restriction and danger.
End of war: The ongoing military conflict in West Asia should be completely stopped. Iran proposes that the nuclear program can be discussed in the next phase after these conditions are met.
Global market shaken by Hormuz blockade The Strait of Hormuz covers about 20% of the world’s total oil and gas trade. Iran has largely controlled this route since the war began on February 28. The result is that the prices of Brent Crude in the international market have crossed $ 108 per barrel, which is 50% higher than before the war started.
Trump’s tough stance and threat of ‘direct control’ Here, US President Donald Trump has not shown any positive stance on this proposal of Iran at present. Trump had already claimed that he would forcibly open Hormuz and if necessary, America would take direct control of this sea route. However, experts believe that if military force is used, oil prices could cross $150, which would be a big risk for the Trump administration.
Role of Russia and India Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has visited Russia in this regard, where he has received the support of President Putin. On the other hand, Iran has given some concessions to the ships of friendly countries like India, China and Pakistan to pass through this route, but for full operation it is necessary to have an agreement with the US. Now everyone’s eyes are on whether Trump will accept these conditions and move towards a ceasefire or will the tension deepen further.
