The Strait of Hormuz Crisis

One of the most critical developments in the conflict is Iran’s effective blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global oil shipping route.

Roughly a fifth of the world’s oil supply passes through this narrow waterway. Disruptions have already caused:

• Spikes in global oil prices
• Concerns over energy security
• Increased naval tensions

The blockade represents a significant escalation, extending the conflict’s impact far beyond the immediate region.
