Sullivan, the former U.S. National Security Advisor, stated in his remarks about the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz that the United States is trapped in a war against Iran. He particularly referenced the statements of Donald Trump, the former President of the United States, who continues to talk about efforts to open the Strait of Hormuz.
The Situation in the Strait of Hormuz
Sullivan recently noted that in just the past 24 hours, about four ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz. This indicates that the Strait of Hormuz, as one of the most important maritime routes in the world, remains a focal point. Trump has previously talked several times about opening this strait, and now Sullivan points out that these efforts have become a major challenge.

Security and Economic Challenges
Sullivan also referred to the security and economic challenges arising from this situation. The passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz not only depends on maritime traffic security but also affects oil prices and the global economic situation. Given the existing tensions between Iran and the United States, Sullivan is concerned that this situation could escalate into a larger crisis that will impact not only these two countries but also others.
These concerns are particularly heightened as Iran has recently announced that it may accelerate its nuclear program. In this context, international and diplomatic interactions are also affected, and various countries need to consider new strategies to manage this crisis.
