"People should not assume that reopening the Strait of Hormuz will restore the country's economic conditions to normal."

The Strait — through which one-fifth of the world's oil normally passes — has now become a tense arena due to US decisions, disrupting economies worldwide

Reopening isn't enough. The damage is done.

This is so infuriating.

Repeating a lie over and over again doesn't make it true.

They really pushing Iran to have no other choice than going for a nuclear weapon like north Korea.
