Finland's Stubb: Iran using Hormuz as 'nuclear weapon'

Finland's President Alexander Stubb has commented on the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz in the ongoing conflict, stating that Iran has discovered it can use the strait as a kind of 'nuclear weapon' because 20% of global oil exports pass through it. He noted the strait was open before the war, implying Iran's current ability to threaten or restrict the flow is a powerful geopolitical lever. Stubb expressed hope a solution would be found but acknowledged the situation currently looks very difficult. His remarks underscore the global economic stakes tied to the security of the vital waterway.
