«O Irão irá sempre usar este estreito como uma arma»: as novas tensões no comércio

"Iran will always use this strait as a weapon": new trade tensions Professor José Filipe Pinto analyzed on NOW the new challenges posed by the significant increase in maritime tolls in the Turkish straits and the funeral ceremonies for the Iranian leader. The increased tolls in the Bosphorus and Dardanelles, compared to the annual profits of the Vasco da Gama and 25 de Abril bridges, underscores the financial impact of this measure and the parallel that can be drawn with the Middle East. "Iran will always use this strait as a weapon that allows it to control international trade," warned the professor during the analysis of Tehran's future options for the Strait of Hormuz. At the same time, Iran is preparing the funeral of Ali Khamenei, assassinated four months ago. The ceremony, close to Ashura, attracts global attention due to its strong symbolism for the Shiite community. The event requires a complex security and surveillance apparatus, given the possibility of infiltration by external agents. Restrictions on the foreign press demonstrate the regime's extreme caution during these critical times. #TurkishStraits #Tolls #Bosphorus #Dardanelles #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #AliKhamenei #KhameneiFuneral #Ashura #Shiites #Geopolitics #InternationalTrade #RevolutionaryGuard #Tehran #MiddleEast
