BarbTherese Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Prayer for the USA and Iran at a sensitive and tense time between the two. https://www.catholic.org.au/prayers/prayer-for-peace Quote Almighty God and Creator, You are the Father of all people on earth. I beseech You to guide all the nations and their leaders in the ways of justice and peace. Protect us from the evils of injustice, prejudice, exploitation, conflict and war. Help us to put away mistrust, bitterness and hatred. Teach us to cease the storing and using of implements of war. Lead us to find peace, respect and freedom. Unite us in the making and sharing of tools of peace against ignorance, poverty, disease and oppression. Grant that we may grow in harmony and friendship as brothers and sisters created in Your image, to Your honour and praise. Amen (St. Ephraim the Syrian) Offered up for the Day of Solidarity with Christians of the Middle East - Sunday 7 December 2014 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 "Around a fifth of the world’s oil must pass through the strait of Hormuz, the busiest shipping lane in the world for crude tankers, and under 40km wide at its narrowest point. Tensions in the Gulf had already affected oil trading, and Friday’s tanker seizures caused prices to spike." https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jul/20/boris-johnson-iran-gulf-crisis-admiral-lord-west Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 (edited) https://www.worldatlas.com/aatlas/infopage/hormuz.htm "The narrow Strait of Hormuz is considered one of the most, if not the most strategic strait of water on the planet.Through its waters, in giant ocean-going tankers, passes much of the oil from Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Bordered by Iran, Oman's Musandam Peninsula and the United Arab Emirates, this stretch of water is of obvious military significance, and subsequently, the U.S. Navy and others patrol its waters."
