(Worthy News) – Iran began its annual war games on Sunday, less than a month ahead of a planned return to talks with Western powers about resuscitating the 2015 nuclear deal.

Around 20% of the world’s oil shipping passes through this strait to reach the Indian Ocean and the wider world. [ Source: Deutche Welle (Read More…) ]
