Iran Guards say will block oil exports as long as war continues

Iranian forces will not allow the export of oil from the region to allies of the United States and Israel as long as the war continues, the Revolutionary Guards spokesman said Tuesday. He stressed that any change would take place based on the conditions of the conflict.

He also told that "US allies’ efforts to reduce and control the price of oil and gas will be temporary and fruitless."Shipping traffic through the strategic Strait of Hormuz, through which nearly 20 percent of the world's crude oil usually transits, has been severely disrupted.
