Media: Iran’s parliament approves closing key strait

Iran’s response to U.S. bombing of their nuclear program is developing. Iran’s parliament approved closing the Strait of Hormuz, crucial to global oil trade, though final decision allegedly lies with Iran’s Supreme National Security Council. Analysts suggested this as a possible Iranian reaction. The Strait connects Gulf countries such as Iraq, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, and the UAE. The U.S. and Iran gave differing accounts of bombing damage; Trump claimed Fordow facility was “completely destroyed,” whereas an Iranian politician reported minor damage. Iran attacked Israel again Sunday morning; plans to retaliate against the U.S. are uncertain. Closing the strait targets international trade and oil prices. Bombings set back Iran’s nuclear program by years but not completely destroyed it, allowing future development with delay.
