Les pourparlers de paix ayant échoué, le président américain a déclaré que les États-Unis bloqueraient le détroit d’Ormuz, ce qui aura des conséquences désastreuses sur l’approvisionnement international en carburant.
With peace talks breaking down, the US president has said the US will blockade the Strait of Hormuz, which will have a further dire impact on international fuel supply.
US President Donald Trump has threatened to “demolish” Iran if it doesn’t reopen the crucial shipping channel, but it’s not the most likely path to reopening.
So far, Australia’s response to the US and Israeli strikes on Iran has been ‘say nothing’. But this may not be a successful long-term approach.

Much greater emphasis will need to be taken to distinguish between targeting combatants and civilians, and additional measures of precaution will need to be taken to avoid civilian casualties.
Today, hearings will begin in the International Court of Justice, where South Africa is accusing Israel of genocide in Palestine. How will the proceedings work, and what does it mean for the war?
