Washington — The U.S. Central Command announced it will begin a blockade of all maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports and coastal areas on Monday at 10 a.m. ET, citing the President's proclamation and stating the action will be enforced impartially against vessels of all nations while not impeding non-Iranian transits through the Strait of Hormuz. New Delhi and other outlets reported Iran's Parliament Speaker Baqer Qalibaf and Navy commander Rear Admiral Shahram Irani dismissed the blockade as 'ridiculous and laughable' this week; Islamabad talks over the weekend failed to reach a deal and the Revolutionary Guards warned they control Hormuz, while CENTCOM said further instructions for mariners will be issued.

这次封锁可能会影响全球油价,进而影响你的钱包。如果紧张局势升级,汽油价格可能会上涨。密切关注你当地加油站的价格。如果你计划进行公路旅行,请考虑为可能上涨的费用进行预算。
美国对伊朗采取强硬立场,但这情况很复杂。伊朗对霍尔木兹海峡的封锁和控制的藐视可能导致进一步的冲突。如果你认识关心汽油价格或国际关系的人,值得转发。
在美国的军事和外交战略中,通过宣示海上控制权和在谈判停滞及破裂时施加压力,可以获益。
商船船员、区域经济和伊朗平民面临着航运中断、能源供应中断以及封锁和紧张局势加剧造成的经济损失的风险。
