The antagonism between the United States and Iran is constantly escalating. Two aircraft carriers of the U.S. navy are approaching Iran, and another aircraft carrier is standing by on the nearby Indian Ocean.
Washington recently declared that it will unleash a new round of financial sanctions against Iran. Teheran is reluctant to show weakness and threatens to blockade the Strait of Hormuz if Western countries embargo its oil export.
The shock wave of this antagonism is not limited to Western countries and Iran only. Apart from the fact that the cloud of war could spoil international relations, judging only from the point that the Strait of Hormuz is the globally important channel for energy transportation, each country has enough reasons to express their anxiety and require both parties to restrain.
Iran is a vital oil exporter, and many countries have normal cooperation in energy and economy with it. The United States attempts to make its unilateral sanction on Iran international, which is inconsistent with the contents and spirits of the United Nations Security Council's relevant resolutions, and this reveals once again Washington's impertinence and arbitrariness of abusing domestic laws in international affairs.
It's noteworthy that, Western politicians and media are making more and more issues of Teheran's strong attitude toward the security of the Strait of Hormuz.
The root of the antagonism between Western countries and Iran is the nuclear issue. However, whether Iran has developed nuclear weapon, whether Iran has already had nuclear weapon are still unclear, the clamor for war has spirally escalated the situation of antagonism.
