America did this. No war declaration, no UN resolution, nothing - it simply blocked Iran's entire coastal line. Since 16:00, the US Navy has been standing before the Strait of Hormuz like a wall, and around 2 million barrels of oil pass through it daily. Know what that means for the global economy? Oil has already crossed the 102 dollar per barrel mark.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard is not staying silent. "Every vessel that blocks our ports will end up on the ocean floor" - the message from Tehran. Are they bluffing? Maybe. But when someone closes your only exit to the world, rhetoric is the least of your problems.

And here is where things get interesting. NATO members refused to participate in the blockade. Britain doesn't want to get involved. The EU is examining the strategic objectives of the whole operation. So Washington is alone in this - while claiming to defend "the international order." What international order, when even the allies don't agree?

China called the blockade "contrary to the interests of the international community." And it wasn't wrong - when one country decides to control oil flow for an entire planet, that's not a security operation, that's an economic war. The EU has already spent 22 billion euros more on energy imports. Twenty-two billion. That gets paid for in hospitals, schools, wages - drained because of a geopolitical poker game in which Europe isn't even a player.

Talks with Pakistan collapsed, but diplomatic channels formally remain open. How much are open channels worth when you have destroyers at your door? From Tehran, meanwhile, they mock gasoline prices inside America itself. The irony is thick - you blockade someone else's oil, and your own citizens pay record prices at the pump.

In the Balkans we know what it looks like when powerful forces decide what is "order" and what isn't. The only question is whether this time it stops before things get out of control, or whether we have already gone too far.
