President Trump has asked Sir Keir Starmer to help secure the Strait of Hormuz, a vital waterway near Iran for a fifth of the world’s global oil supply.
In his post on Truth Social, Trump asked China, France, Japan, South Korea and the UK to send warships to the region to prevent Iran’s missile threat.
“Many countries, especially those affected by Iran’s attempted closure of the Strait of Hormuz, will send Warships, along with the United States, to keep the Strait of Hormuz open and safe,” Trump wrote.
“We have destroyed 100 percent of Iran’s military capabilities, but it is easy for them to send a drone or two, drop a mine, or launch a short-range missile somewhere along or in this Waterway, no matter how badly they are defeated.
“Hopefully China, France, Japan, South Korea, the UK, and other countries affected by these artificial restrictions, will send Ships to the region so that the Strait of Hormuz no longer poses a threat to a country that has been completely cut off.”
The strait has been closed since the start of the war, and one ship passing through it was attacked on Thursday.
Trump’s war brought turmoil to the markets
Markets reacted strongly to the blockage, with oil prices surging by around 40 percent since the start of the war.
Qatar, Kuwait and other Gulf countries have reduced crude oil and gas production over the past two weeks, putting supplies under pressure.
The International Energy Agency, of which the UK is part, agreed to release a record supply of strategic oil reserves.
The British government stated that it supports de-escalation of the conflict, using armed forces for “defense purposes” in the region.
The war has dragged on despite claims from Trump earlier in the week that the war was “very complete”.
Israel is also involved in a conflict with Hezbollah forces in Lebanon while Iran-based organizations have reported hundreds of deaths since the war began.
Chancellor Rachel Reeves revealed that the Treasury is putting together an energy support package aimed primarily at poor households.
Energy Minister Ed Miliband is sticking to preventing further oil drilling in the North Sea despite suggestions that the UK economy could benefit from further energy security and increased exports.
PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
