US President Donald Trump has ordered his administration to provide support to ships in the Strait of Hormuz to ensure the continuation of energy supply after Iran closed the key waterway.
The Strait, which is controlled by Iran, hosts transportation of 20 per cent of the world’s oil supply, 20 per cent of the world’s liquefied natural gas (LNG) and a third of the world’s fertiliser supply.
Iran ordered the closure on Tuesday, threatening to blow up any non-authorised ships that attempted to traverse the narrow strait.
