The United States has just begun enforcing a naval blockade targeting Iranian ports — a major escalation in an already volatile situation.

Experts warn this kind of blockade is one of the most dangerous moves a country can make at sea. It risks military confrontation, disrupts global trade, and is already driving up oil prices worldwide.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global artery. Blocking access now doesn’t just impact one country — it threatens economic stability and raises the risk of a wider conflict.

This situation is unfolding in real time.

We are calling on U.S. leaders and Congress to immediately halt the blockade and pursue diplomatic solutions before tensions escalate further.
