Share:
Iran has effectively closed the strategic Strait of Hormuz following attacks by the United States and Israel, according to reports. The strait serves as a crucial transit route for global oil and gas shipments. The closure represents a significant escalation in regional tensions and could have major implications for global energy markets, as the Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important shipping chokepoints through which approximately one-fifth of global oil supplies typically pass.
