Weak US allies accused of allowing Iran to dictate terms in Strait of Hormuz

Former Israeli government spokesperson Eylon Levy weighs in on the Iranian regime’s control over the Strait of Hormuz.

“The moment the Iranians closed the Strait of Hormuz, the rest of the world should have treated that as an act of war and said, that is an act of war against the global economy,” Mr Levy told Sky News Senior Reporter Caroline Marcus.

“Instead, America’s allies said, look America, you broke it, you fix it. This is your problem.

“The Iranians learned that they can close the Strait of Hormuz, and no one is going to stop them because eventually America will give in to the economic and political pressure because of rising gas prices.”
