        "summary": "The Indonesian rupiah weakened by 0.12% to Rp17,346 per US dollar on Thursday, driven by concerns over US President Donald Trump's preparations for a prolonged naval blockade against Iran. This escalation is compounded by reports of US oil executives meeting Trump to mitigate domestic impacts, potentially disrupting global oil supplies if Iran retaliates by blocking the Strait of Hormuz. Despite Trump's calls for international support to reopen the strait and ongoing stalled nuclear talks, the rupiah's depreciation reflects broader market anxieties over geopolitical tensions.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - The rupiah exchange rate closed lower on Thursday,\nweakening by 20 points or 0.12 per cent to Rp17,346 per US dollar from\nthe previous close at Rp17,326 per US dollar. Currency and commodity\neconomist Ibrahim Assuaibi attributed the decline to US President Donald\nTrump\u2019s preparations for a prolonged naval blockade against Iran.\n\u201cConcerns over this scenario are exacerbated by reports that several\nleading US oil executives met with Trump at the White House to discuss\nhow to limit the conflict\u2019s impact on American society,\u201d he said in a\nwritten statement in Jakarta on Thursday. A prolonged naval blockade is\nseen as likely to prompt Iran to continue blocking the Strait of Hormuz\nin retaliation, indicating a greater disruption to global oil supplies.\nHowever, a report on Wednesday (29\/1) indicated that Trump is seeking\nhelp from other countries to form a new international coalition to\nreopen the waterway. \u201cTrump has repeatedly asked other countries to help\nreopen Hormuz, although the US\u2019s main allies have largely refused to\nassist. He has been seen criticising NATO members for not providing\nmilitary help to the US and Israel during the conflict,\u201d he said.\nNegotiations between the US and Iran have largely failed amid\ndisagreements over Iran\u2019s nuclear activities. Although Trump has\nextended the ceasefire with Iran indefinitely, he added, both sides have\nlargely rejected any efforts to mediate talks. The Jakarta Interbank\nSpot Dollar Rate (JISDOR) from Bank Indonesia on Thursday also moved\nlower to Rp17,378 per US dollar from the previous Rp17,324 per US\ndollar.<\/p>",
