We have the blockade. No ships get through unless we want them to.”\n\nBut Iran fired back with major general Amir Hatami referring to “joking about such remarks” as a “major mistake”. He also said the nation had “defenders who will break your legs”.Tehran’s deputy foreign minister, Kazem Gharibabadi also posted on X: “This strait will be opened and closed only under Iran’s command, and so long as you do not accept the reality of defeat and stop indulging in fantasies, Iran will continue to enforce the blockade.”Just two vessels passed through the strait on Friday, with no crude oil shipments visible, according to analysis from ship-tracking firm Kpler. It marks a major blow to the global oil market, with around 20 per cent of global supply flowing through the strait before the conflict and over 130 ships transiting the passage.\n\nWe’ll be bringing you the latest market updates and analysis.Here’s a few of our top headlines this morning\nBack bookshops in bid to rebuild high streets, Burnham urged\nAldi boss wades into supermarket ‘price-gouging’ row\nReform pledges £50bn savings in ‘generational’ benefits shake-up\nSoaring energy bills set to fuel inflation spike\nWhat Burnham’s Sporting Events Bill means for brands and media owners","kind":"highlight","is_publish_news":true,"is_publish_highlight":false,"is_publish_live":false,"is_publish_wemedia":false,"editions":null,"column":"","sentiment":"0","news_tag":"","news_rank":0,"isVideo":false,"video":null,"symbols":[],"gpt_button":0,"need_auth":false,"need_login_tip":false,"code":"91000000","status":"200"}}}
