This could hinder global trade.

Iran’s parliament has voted to close the Strait of Hormuz, a key shipping artery, in response to a US attack on the country’s nuclear facilities, Al Arabiya reports .

It is noted that this decision is not final. It must be approved by Iran’s Supreme National Security Council.

The publication shared that about 20 percent of the world’s oil and gas transit passes through the Strait of Hormuz. If the decision to close it is finally approved, it could hinder global trade.

The publication added that Esmail Kosari, a member of parliament and commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, told reporters that the issue of closing the Strait of Hormuz is on the agenda. According to him, the issue will be resolved when necessary.
