Naval glitch: exchange of blows between the US and Iran risks becoming protracted

The issue of passage through the Strait of Hormuz has temporarily overshadowed even the issue of Tehran's nuclear program.

On July 13, Trump announced that the United States would launch a series of powerful strikes against Iran in the coming days. It was noted that Iran had not fulfilled the terms of the memorandum. Trump stressed that the signing of the document was a test, which, in his opinion, Tehran did not pass.

On the same day, the US president announced that he had resumed the naval blockade of Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, and the waterway would continue to function. According to the head of the White House, the restrictions imposed relate exclusively to the Iranian side and its partners.
