Egypt's blockade of the straits of Tiran

Around noon on May 22, Nasser announced that Egypt would close the Straits of Tiran to “all ships flying Israeli flags or carrying strategic materials” to Eilat. Those “strategic goods” included, amongst other things, oil shipments from Iran, which constituted 90% of Israel’s overall oil supply. The blockade prevented all oil shipments from arriving. This move was widely regarded by Israel, the US and the “international community” as a casus belli an act or situation provoking or justifying war. It was seen as the “decisive act that made war inevitable”. Nasser, in his speech on May 29,  went even further with this act that already legally justified war, and stated that the issue was Israel’s “existence,” not merely the Straits of Tiran.
