The Middle East powder keg is smoking again. If the Strait of Hormuz is truly cut off, the global energy market will tremble.

CryptoWorld News reports that, according to Al Jazeera, Bahrain condemned Iran for launching seven ballistic missiles into its territory and Kuwaiti territory early Saturday morning, calling this a blatant violation of sovereignty and a threat to Gulf security. The Bahrain Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement saying the missiles were successfully intercepted and praised the vigilance of its armed forces and Kuwaiti armed forces. Bahrain also called on Iran to immediately cease unprovoked attacks, fully open the Strait of Hormuz, disclose the locations of water mines, and allow over 20k stranded sailors to safely leave the area.
