Iran to close Hormuz Strait if war breaks out, official warns
Any US-Iran war would threaten energy security and could lead to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, warns the secretary of Iran’s Strategic Council on Foreign Relations on Thursday.
“If a war happens in the region, energy security will be endangered, the Strait of Hormuz will be closed,” Jalal Dehghani Firouzabadi said.
He added that if the strait is closed, “the first country to be harmed is China,” arguing that this makes China oppose war.
