Trump's blockade of Iranian ports raised oil prices on the global market

On April 13, Donald Trump's order to blockade Iranian ports led to a sharp increase in oil prices on the global market. This was reported by Zamin.uz.

This event has had a serious impact on the international economic situation and intensified concerns in the energy sector. According to international news agencies, the price of Brent crude oil, considered a key benchmark on the global market, rose by more than seven percent within one day, exceeding the hundred-dollar mark per barrel.

On some trading platforms, prices were observed to rise up to seven and a half percent, approaching one hundred and three dollars. The US Central Command officially announced the imposition of a military blockade on Iranian ports on the evening of April 12.

These restrictions apply to all types of maritime transport entering and leaving Iranian ports. This situation is directly affecting cargo transportation and general maritime traffic in the Persian and Gulf of Oman.

Donald Trump announced on his social media page that strict measures would be taken against ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The US Navy stated that it has significantly increased control in the region and is ready to respond immediately to any threat.

According to economic analysts, such tensions in the region are causing instability in the global energy market. If the situation does not ease, oil prices may continue to rise, which could negatively impact other sectors of the global economy.

Currently, investors and states are closely monitoring the development of the situation against the backdrop of the emerging geopolitical tension.
