Ansarallah Official: Hormuz Tensions Would Hit U.S. Economy the Hardest
Iran’s decades-long resilience to sanctions strengthens its position, while any disruption in Hormuz threatens inflation, fuel prices, and mounting economic pressure in the United States.
Yemen, PUREWILAYAH.COM - Mohammed Al-Farah, a member of the Political Bureau of Ansarallah, stated that Iran possesses extensive experience in dealing with sanctions and blockades spanning nearly 47 years.
In a series of posts on his personal account on the “X” platform on Monday, Al-Farah explained that this long experience has enabled Iran to build broad capabilities for self-sufficiency, particularly in the field of food, giving it greater ability to withstand any economic or military pressure.
U.S. Economy Faces Direct Impact from Energy Disruptions
Al-Farah warned that the continued closure of the Strait of Hormuz would lead to major economic repercussions for the United States, noting that Washington would bear the greatest losses due to its heavy reliance on the stability of global energy markets.
He added that the American citizen would be directly and rapidly affected by any increase in fuel prices, even if limited, due to its impact on inflation and the cost of living, as well as the growing burden of public debt—factors that could intensify internal pressure on the U.S. administration.
Political and Regional Consequences for Washington
Al-Farah pointed out that these pressures could have political repercussions for the U.S. President Donald Trump, including declining electoral prospects and rising challenges within American institutions amid economic instability.
He further noted that Iran could expand the scope of pressure by influencing supply chains or taking measures targeting countries hosting U.S. military bases, which would complicate the regional landscape and increase the cost of escalation for Washington’s allies.
Al-Farah concluded that imposing a blockade on Iran carries little practical value, given its multiple alternatives and its proven ability to adapt to difficult conditions, describing such rhetoric as an attempt to cover up U.S. failures in the region. (PW)
