00:00The world is holding its breath as tensions rise sharply after failed peace talks between
00:04Donald Trump and Iran.
00:06In a dramatic and controversial move, the United States has announced plans to blockade
00:11the Strait of Hormuz, a critical route through which a large portion of the world's oil
00:15supply passes.
00:17U.S. naval forces are reportedly preparing to control and inspect vessels in the region,
00:22signaling a major escalation in strategy.
00:25The warning from Washington has been clear.
00:27Any resistance could be met with force.
00:29As a result, global markets are already reacting, with oil prices showing signs of volatility
00:35and fears growing over a wider conflict.
00:37Now, the world watches closely to see whether Iran will step back, or if this move could
00:42push the situation toward a much larger and more dangerous confrontation.
