The US government has repeatedly shown that it only understands the language of force. Say hello to $200 oil.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"line-height:1.2\">The statement came in response to US military action in the early hours of May 26. US Central Command announced it had carried out &#8220;defensive strikes&#8221; against Iranian speedboats attempting to lay mines in the Strait of Hormuz, as well as against missile launch sites. Washington nonetheless stressed that the ceasefire regime in effect since April 7 had not been violated.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"line-height:1.2\">The Strait of Hormuz is a vital artery of the global oil market, through which a significant share of supplies from Persian Gulf countries flows. Iran closed the strait after the outbreak of war in late February, triggering a sharp rise in global energy prices. In response, the United States imposed a blockade on Iranian seaports.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"line-height:1.2\">The fate of the strait remains the main sticking point in negotiations. On May 24, several American media outlets reported, citing sources, that the two sides had reached a preliminary agreement on the issue of navigation, but that the memorandum had still not been signed. Tehran has threatened $200 oil before, for now, prices remain hovering around the hundred-dollar mark.  <\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-avatar\"><img alt='La R\u00e9daction Avatar' src='https:\/\/www.mondevudailleurs.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/cropped-Simple-Minimalist-Creative-Studio-Logo-150-x-100-px-96x96.png' srcset='https:\/\/www.mondevudailleurs.ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/cropped-Simple-Minimalist-Creative-Studio-Logo-150-x-100-px-192x192.png 2x' class='avatar avatar-96 photo wp-block-avatar__image' height='96' width='96' \/><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-post-author-name\">La R\u00e9daction<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Global oil prices will spike sharply if the United States continues its &#8220;military adventures&#8221; in the Middle East,&hellip;","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"csco_display_header_overlay":false,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","csco_post_video_location":[],"csco_post_video_location_hash":"","csco_post_video_url":"","csco_post_video_bg_start_time":0,"csco_post_video_bg_end_time":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[38],"tags":[48],"class_list":["post-7814","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","category-geopolitics","tag-articles-en","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 -
