Vance saw the "terror" created by Iran in shipping as the reason for the increase in energy prices
🔸 The US vice president saw Iran's actions in creating "terrorism for international shipping" as the reason for the increase in energy prices in the world and said that the American government is trying to oppose these actions to prevent the increase in fuel prices and the pressure on the American people.
Jeddy Vance told reporters on Monday, September 30: "Although the Iranians create fear and insecurity for ships every day, we still see a significant amount of oil and gas passing through the Strait of Hormuz."
Brad Cooper, the commander of US military forces in the Middle East, announced on Saturday that more than a billion barrels of crude oil from the countries bordering the Persian Gulf have passed through the Strait of Hormuz in recent months and announced that the volume of crude oil, commercial shipments and liquid natural gas that passed through this waterway in the past two weeks was higher than at any other time in the past six months. 🔸Jedi Vance said in an interview with reporters, repeating the position of Donald Trump, the President of the United States, regarding the necessity of Iran not to obtain nuclear weapons: "When we took action to prevent Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons, they responded by creating insecurity and intimidation in the international shipping lane."
Vance emphasized that the United States will try to protect the free flow of trade as much as possible. Referring to the United Nations General Assembly meeting, he said: "I'm sure that during this meeting in New York, there will be more discussions on this."
🔸 Since the attacks by America and Israeli captives on Iran in March last year? The passage of ships in the Strait of Hormuz was disrupted due to Iran's attacks. Both Iran and America say they control this strategic waterway.
