Iran, USA och EU
Various Iranian officials in recent weeks have
said they would blockade the strait, which is only 21 miles wide at its
narrowest point, if the United States and Europe imposed a tight oil
embargo on their country in an effort to thwart its development of
nuclear weapons.
That
did not stop President Obama from signing legislation last weekend
imposing sanctions against Iran’s Central Bank intended to make it more
difficult for the country to sell its oil, nor did it dissuade the
European Union from moving toward a ban on Iranian oil imports.
