Trump anaamuru kuzuia mlango wa Hormuz baada ya mazungumzo na Iran kushindwa

Rais wa Marekani Donald Trump ameamuru jeshi la majini la Marekani kuzuia Mlango wa Hormuz baada ya kushindwa kwa mazungumzo ya amani na Iran huko Islamabad, Pakistan. Hatua hii imesababisha bei za mafuta duniani kupanda haraka na kuongeza hofu za ongezeko la bei za mafuta nchini Kenya mbele ya mapitio ya EPRA.

Rais Donald Trump alitangaza amri hiyo kwenye chapisho lake la mitandao Jumapili, Akisema mazungumzo yalifanya vizuri katika masuala mengi lakini suala la programu ya nyuklia la Iran halikubaliwa. "Mkutano ulienda vizuri, pointi nyingi zilikubaliwa, lakini pointi pekee iliyokuwa muhimu sana, nyuklia, haikukubaliwa. Mara moja, Jeshi la Majini la Marekani, bora zaidi duniani, litaanza mchakato wa kuzuia meli zote zinazojaribu kuingia au kutoka Mlango wa Hormuz," alisema Trump.

Jeshi la majini litashika meli zinazojaribu kupita na kufanya operesheni za kuondoa mabomu ambayo Trump alidai Iran imeweka. Pia litashika meli zilizo lipa ada za kupita kwa Iran katika maji ya kimataifa.

Bei za mafuta Brent zimepanda zaidi ya dola 103 kwa pipa, na masoko ya hisa ya Asia kufungua chini kutokana na hofu za kusumbuliwa kwa usambazaji wa mafuta.

Nchini Kenya, hofu za bei za mafuta zinaongezeka mbele ya tangazo la EPRA kesho, Aprili 14. EPRA imethibitisha upungufu wa mafuta Nairobi na Machakos kutokana na kucheleweshwa kwa usambazaji, msongamano, ununuzi wa craze na madai ya makampuni ya mafuta kuyahifadhi.

Three weeks after Iran's Strait of Hormuz blockade began, oil prices surged another 8% above $100 a barrel as US-Iran peace talks collapsed and the US Navy imposed its own blockade to curb Iranian exports. The escalation heightens global supply fears, with President Trump warning of sustained high fuel prices through November's midterm elections.

In the escalating Strait of Hormuz crisis—now in its fourth week after Iran's March blockade—the US has started enforcing President Donald Trump's April 13 sanctions by blocking ships carrying drones to and from Iranian ports. The move intensifies pressure on Tehran to reopen the vital oil chokepoint amid failed nuclear talks.

Oil prices swung sharply on Tuesday after a U.S. Energy Secretary's claim of a Navy escort through the Strait of Hormuz was corrected by the White House, amid ongoing disruptions from the U.S.-led operation against Iran. Brent crude fell to around $81 per barrel before recovering to close near $91. The incident highlights efforts to stabilize oil flows through the strait, which carries 20% of the world's oil.

As the US-Israel-Iran conflict surpasses its fourth day following initial strikes on February 28, Iran has blockaded the Strait of Hormuz and launched drone attacks on key Saudi and Qatari energy facilities. Growing European involvement and US commitments elsewhere raise concerns over prolonged hostilities harming American interests. De-escalation through negotiations is urgently needed.

The ongoing war between Iran and Israel has intensified, with missile exchanges and the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz disrupting global oil supplies. Oil prices have surged above $100 per barrel, fueling market declines and inflation fears worldwide. Governments are responding with measures to stabilize energy markets amid concerns over prolonged conflict.

President Donald Trump announced a two-week ceasefire with Iran on Tuesday evening, less than two hours before his self-imposed 8 p.m. ET deadline to destroy the country unless it reopened the Strait of Hormuz. The deal, presented via Pakistan, prompted oil prices to plunge and stocks to surge worldwide. The announcement followed Trump's morning Truth Social post threatening that 'a whole civilization will die tonight' without a deal.
