According to CCTV News, on June 22, local time, Kusari, a member of the National Security Committee of the Iranian Parliament, publicly stated that the parliament had reached a consensus on closing the Strait of Hormuz. This strategic waterway is located between Oman and Iran, connecting the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman. It is the only channel for about one-third of the world's seaborne crude oil trade and can be called the "world oil valve". Although the Iranian Parliament has reached a conclusion, Kusari emphasized that the final decision is still in the hands of the Iranian Supreme National Security Council. This move has attracted great attention from the international community, and market concerns about the regional situation have rapidly heated up.

US-Iran conflict escalates, US air strikes directly target Iranian nuclear facilities

Behind the conflict is the fierce confrontation between the United States and Iran. CCTV News reported that on June 21, the US military launched a fierce attack on Iran: six bunker-buster bombs were accurately dropped on the Fordow nuclear facility, and another 30 "Tomahawk" missiles bombed other nuclear facilities. US President Trump bluntly stated that the United States has launched a full-scale attack on the three nuclear bases of Fordow, Natanz and Isfahan. US officials revealed that the B-2 stealth bomber was deeply involved in this operation, highlighting the US's tough containment stance on Iran's nuclear capabilities. This series of air strikes directly exacerbated geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, and the security prospects of the Strait of Hormuz were overshadowed.
