TEHRAN / BANDAR ABBAS — Duniya ke sabse mahatvapoorn waterway, Strait of Hormuz par is waqt Islamic Republic ki Navy aur IRGC ka mukammal kabza ho chuka hai. IRGC Navy official Mohammad Akbarzadeh ne saaf kar diya hai ki ab yahan se koi bhi ship Iran ki ijazat ke bina guzar nahi sakti.
Hormuz Control: Kya Hai Ground Reality?March 2026 ke aankde batate hain ki Iran ne is raste ko ek ‘Gatekeeper’ ki tarah control kar liya hai:
Traffic Down: Tanker traffic mein 90% se zyada ki girawat aayi hai. Rozana guzarne wale 50 jahazon ki jagah ab sirf 3-4 jahaz hi nikal pa rahe hain.
Selective Control: Iran ne US, Israel aur unke Western allies ke jahazon ke liye rasta band kar diya hai, jabki Turkey, India, aur Saudi Arabia ke jahazon ko ‘selective permission’ di ja rahi hai.
Economic Blow: Insurance companies ne ‘War Risk Coverage’ cancel kar di hai, jiske nate koi bhi ship owner bina insurance ke is raste par khatra mol lene ko taiyar nahi hai.
Trump Ka Dilemma Aur Failure:President Trump ne elaan kiya tha ki US Navy tankers ko escort karke nikalegi, lekin 19 March tak ye plan nakaam saabit hua hai.
Missile Threat: Iran ke northern shore par maujood anti-ship cruise missiles aur ballistic missiles poore 33km chauday strait ko cover karte hain.
Oil Prices: Jung shuru hone se ab tak tel ki qimatein $65 se badhkar $114-126 per barrel tak pahunch gayi hain.
TWU Verdict:America aur Israel ne socha tha ki wo Iran ko kamzor kar denge, lekin Iran ne duniya ki 20% energy supply ko apne kabze mein lekar strategic victory haasil kar li hai. Iran ab global energy market ka naya gatekeeper ban chuka hai.
