Iran is unwilling to negotiate an end to the war and believes that it can increase the troubles in the global economy faster than the United States can overcome them militarily. About this writes the Washington Post, citing an Iranian diplomat, two of his European colleagues in the region, and a senior Arab official who spoke on condition of anonymity.
The war between the United States and Israel with Iran has already had an impact on the situation in the world, including Ukraine. LIGA.net explained the consequences of the conflict can be for the country.
As the war enters its fourth week and U.S. operations increasingly focus on the issue of global energy supplies, the Islamic Republic rejects attempts to find a diplomatic solution to the conflict, officials said.
Instead, Tehran is stepping up its attacks on its neighbors, hoping to exacerbate global economic problems faster than the US administration of Donald Trump will be able to eliminate them with military force, the interlocutors said.
About 20% of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies pass through Hormuz. Its blockage has affected the situation with energy prices in the world, which has also affected Ukraine. LIGA.net explained why fuel prices have risen sharply and whether it is possible to have a shortage, and what will happen to the gas price for the population and business.
The Iranian diplomat said that by partially closing the strait, the Islamic Republic seeks to "make this aggression super expensive for the aggressors."
"We are alone against the biggest military superpower of the history," the source said.
Earlier, Iran confirmed that it has military cooperation with Russia and China during the conflict.
