Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Iranian government’s plan to close the Strait of Hormuz could affect global oil supply, including Indonesia’s oil imports, Foreign Minister Sugiono has said.

“If the Iranian's government closes the Strait of Hormuz, it will affect Indonesia's oil supply because (state-owned energy company) Pertamina’s oil imports also pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Around 20.4 percent,” he said after a working meeting with Commission I of the House of Representatives in Jakarta on Monday.

The minister added that the plan to shut the Strait of Hormuz could potentially disrupt 20 percent of the world’s oil supply that passes through the region.

According to Sugiono, the Indonesian government is continuing to monitor the conflict in the Middle East.

“We also continue to monitor the ceasefire and peace (efforts) that are currently taking place in the region,” he informed.

He expressed the hope that the ceasefire and peace in the region would last longer.

Iran’s parliament earlier approved a bill to close the Strait of Hormuz to naval traffic, following a US airstrike on three nuclear sites in the country, a senior lawmaker said on Sunday.

The Strait of Hormuz, which separates Iran from the United Arab Emirates, is located between the Gulf of Oman and the Persian Gulf. It is the only route for oil to leave the Persian Gulf.
