The next Strait of Hormuz

Iran has closed the Strait of Hormuz, causing crude prices to rise and increasing global economic uncertainty. This action heightens geopolitical tensions with potential long-term impacts on oil markets. Simultaneously, President Donald Trump has frequently backtracked or changed his course regarding threats of attacks on Iran. The closure of this critical waterway exacerbates existing tensions between the US and Iran, influencing international energy markets and contributing to a volatile geopolitical environment for the global economy.
