Estreito de Ormuz: 'Atacar navios é a única forma que o Irão tem de garantir o bloqueio'

Strait of Hormuz: 'Attacking ships is the only way Iran has to guarantee the blockade' Security and defense expert Vitaliy Venislavskyy analyzed the escalating tension in the Middle East and Ukraine on NOW, highlighting the Iranian naval strategy and Russian defense failures. He stated that 'attacking ships is the only way Iran has to physically guarantee the success of its blockade,' explaining that the use of drones against civilian vessels in the Strait of Hormuz serves as a punitive warning against those who disobey Tehran's directives. He stressed that these attacks are illegitimate under international law, but respond to a pragmatic logic of regional control. Regarding the conflict in Ukraine, Vitaliy Venislavskyy pointed to Russian vulnerability in St. Petersburg, where Ukrainian drones flew over the city at low altitude during the Economic Forum. According to the analyst, Russian authorities chose not to activate the warning sirens to maintain an illusion of security for foreign investors. The development of the new Ukrainian FP9 ballistic missile, from the company FirePoint, was also discussed; this missile appears as a strategic response from Kiev to the restrictions imposed by the United States on the use of Western weaponry in Russian territory. #VitalyVenenzlasky #NOW #Geopolitics #War #Iran #StraitOfHormuz #USA #Israel #Lebanon #Hezbollah #Russia #Ukraine #SaintPetersburg #Defense #Security #Missiles #Drones #MilitaryAnalysis
