Recall that the Iranian military had blamed the United States over its decision to re-close the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian government had insisted that the US remove its blockage at the Strait of Hormuz.

Reacting, US President Donald Trump described Iran’s move to close the Strait of Hormuz again as blackmail.

It was reported that while the Middle East crisis enters its 50th day, ripple impacts have taken their toll on economies around the world, including Nigeria.
