Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva, President of Brazil, announced that his country opposes any US attack on Iran and will not accept such an action. He warned that expanding the war could have direct economic consequences, including rising prices of essential food items.<\/p>\n
Lula pointed to the global repercussions of tensions, stating that the cost of any military conflict is not confined to the battlefield but affects the daily lives of people in various countries. He emphasized the need to avoid escalating tensions and to pursue diplomatic solutions.<\/p>\n
The Brazilian president also criticized the policy declared by US President Donald Trump, regarding the imposition of a 20 percent toll on ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, comparing it to “maritime piracy.”<\/p>\n
These remarks followed Trump’s post on the social media platform Truth Social, where he wrote that the Strait of Hormuz “will remain open with or without Iran’s presence,” and that the US would act as the guardian of this passage. Trump added that to ensure the security of this maritime route, a 20 percent fee would be charged on the value of all cargo passing through as a mission cost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
