Erdogan Calls for Reopening of Strait of Hormuz Amid Oil Disruptions Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has long been known for his ability to seize opportunities in the Middle East, often using diplomatic pressure to advance Turkey's interests.
His latest move – calling for the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz amid ongoing oil disruptions – is a prime example of this strategy.
Erdogan's timing is telling, given that global oil prices are already under strain due to tensions between the US and Iran.
