‘Goal Posts Have Moved’: Gulf States Fear Iran’s Grip On Hormuz, Says ‘Strait Will Be The Red Line’

Iran now treats Hormuz as a strategic weapon, capable of disrupting global oil flows. Analysts warn negotiations may stabilise tensions without resolving core threats, leaving Gulf states exposed. With rising frustration over exclusion from talks and growing risks to energy security, the crisis is no longer regional but a global flashpoint with massive consequences.#StraitOfHormuz #IranUS #RussiaIran #GlobalOilCrisis #MiddleEastTensions #BreakingNews #Geopolitics #GulfCrisis #WorldNews #EnergySecurity #WarAlert #OilMarkets
