Hormuzinsalmi avautuu ja sulkeutuu tunnista toiseen - Trump: "NATO on hyödytön!"

Uutiset ovat seuranneet toisiaan ilman selvyyttä siitä, pääsevätkö öljy- ja kaasulaivat kulkemaan ja minkä maiden sallitaan – mitä reittiä ja millä hinnalla tai ilmaiseksi. Tilanne on vähintään epäselvä kriittisellä meriväylällä.
