Iran's 'Death Trap' in Hormuz: Mines Threaten Global Oil Supply, Economic Warfare Escalates
•Iran's IRGC is deploying naval mines in the Strait of Hormuz using small boats, creating a dangerous 'death trap' for oil tankers.
•The conflict has escalated into 'economic warfare,' causing global petrol, diesel, and gas prices to rise due to the closure of the crucial oil supply route.
•Approximately 200 crude oil tankers and 1000 commercial vessels are stranded in the danger zone, putting thousands of sailors' lives at risk.
•An oil tanker caught fire last night near Iranian waters; attacks on tankers have intensified following US actions.
•The closure of Hormuz, through which 20% of the world's oil passes, forces ships to take long detours, significantly increasing freight costs and impacting global economies.
