00:00The Iranian Parliament reached the required consensus to approve the closure of the Strait of Hormuz

00:05after the direct aggression of the United States.

00:08During a session, the authorities analyzed that the legitimate blockade would cause losses of up to 5 million barrels per day,

00:17which would raise crude oil prices to $250 per barrel.

00:21This is an essential route for global oil trade, since more than 80% of crude oil transits through it.

00:28In the meantime, and once the measure has passed the legislative stage,

00:33it must go to the Supreme National Security Council for its approval and subsequent implementation.

01:01and its waters are currently under the administration of Iran, the United Arab Emirates and Oman.

01:10The difficult location of this international pass is considered privileged because it is the route

01:14where the major oil and natural gas producers export their crude oil products

01:18to other regions of the world, especially to Europe.

01:23According to figures, this maritime transit is essential for international trade,

01:27since the Strait of Hormuz accounts for more than 20% of the world's oil consumption,

01:32which translates into a flow of more than 21 million barrels per day.

01:38Currently, the Asian and European markets are the main importers of crude oil in the Strait of Hormuz,

01:43so the transit of oil through the Strait of Hormuz influences the global markets.

01:49In Iran alone, oil export revenues from the Hormuz Strait reached $56 billion in 2024,

01:55but Israel's attacks against Tehran could lead to the closure and militarization of this important international strait.
