The case of 'Ramadan War'; 150; The repercussions of the war against Iran reflected in world media 🔺Associated Press: An Iranian commercial vessel was struck early Sunday near Qeshm Island in the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in one death and several injuries. The governor of Qeshm Island condemned the action, attributing it to a 'terrorist enemy,' and stated that the identity of the projectile has not yet been determined. The UK Maritime Trade Operations Center also reported that another vessel was struck by a projectile, resulting in a fire. To date, the US military, which has previously targeted Iranian vessels, has not commented on this incident. 🔺CNN: Despite the heavy cost of nearly $800 for each American household since the start of the war, the oil market has managed to endure through three main strategies: first, bypassing the Strait of Hormuz through Saudi pipeline and covertly escorting oil tankers by the US military and increasing oil production in the US, Venezuela, Brazil, Guyana, and Canada by two million barrels per day; second, a reduction in strategic reserve consumption that has been less than expected; and third, a decrease in global demand of five million barrels due to changing consumption patterns and the replacement of electric vehicles. 🔺Al Mayadeen: The control of the Strait of Hormuz and Bab-el-Mandeb, due to their vital role in trade and energy transfer, has always been one of the foundations of global power, and Iran, after the Islamic Revolution, along with the Ansarullah of Yemen, has realized the strategic importance of these two straits and has viewed them as tools to achieve sovereignty, independence, and resist US and Israeli influence. 🔺Izvestia: The cost of the war for the US is not limited to the geopolitical realm and has also taken on military and economic dimensions. The extensive deployment of US defensive systems, including Patriots in Jordan, incurs a heavy cost. 🔺Global Times: The Hormuz crisis, despite the significance of this waterway for the global energy market, has not increased China's vulnerability to disruptions in oil imports compared to many Asian economies.
