Iran lawmakers prepare to close Hormuz Strait"There is a bill prepared in the National Security and Foreign Policy committee of Parliament that stresses the blocking of oil tanker traffic carrying oil to countries that have sanctioned Iran," Iranian MP Ibrahim Agha-Mohammadi told reporters."This bill has been developed as an answer to the European Union's oil sanctions against the Islamic Republic of Iran."Agha-Mohammadi said that 100 of Tehran's 290 members of parliament had signed the bill as of Sunday.Iran's threats to block the waterway through which about 17 million barrels a day sailed in 2011 have grown in the past year as US and European sanctions aimed at starving Tehran of funds for its nuclear programme have tightened.The Strait of Hormuz is a vital shipping route through which most of the crude exported from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait and Iraq and nearly all the gas exported from Qatar sails.An EU ban on Iranian oil imports came into effect on Sunday.
EE UU lanza una advertencia a Irán al acumular fuerzas en el Golfo PérsicoIrán y EE UU vuelven a lanzarse advertencias en el golfo Pérsico. Mientras el primero prepara una legislación para impedir el paso de Ormuz a los países que le están sometiendo a un embargo y realiza maniobras militares con misiles, el segundo ha reforzado su presencia militar en esas aguas con el objetivo de impedir el cierre del estrecho por el que sale una quinta parte del petróleo mundial. De momento se trata de una mera toma de posiciones, pero los países vecinos no se arriesgan. Emiratos Árabes Unidos (EAU) y Arabia Saudí acaban de poner en funcionamiento sendos oleoductos para evitar un eventual bloqueo.
Hormuz Strait closure bill backed by more than half of Iranian MPsJust over half of Iran's parliament has backed a draft law to block the Strait of Hormuz, threatening to close the Gulf to oil tankers in retaliation against European sanctions.Lawmaker Javad Karimi Qodoosi, who drafted the document, said 150 of parliament's 290 members had signed the bill, describing the strait as "the world's lock" to which Iran holds the key, the lawmaker said. And even though the final decision lies with Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, and the parliament does not really get to influence foreign policy, the move would lend significant political support to a possible decision to close the Strait. A heavy Western naval presence in the Gulf and surrounding area is a big obstacle for any attempt to block the vital shipping route through which 40 percent of the world's seaborne oil exports passes. Qodoosi dismissed this obstacle."From a military standpoint, the power to close the Strait of Hormuz is 100 percent there … if we close the Strait of Hormuz, no country will be able to open it", the lawmaker said.
