The Middle East is facing another dangerous escalation after Iran announced the closure of the Strait of Hormuz following a new wave of CENTCOM strikes on Iranian targets. The crisis intensified further after reports of attacks on U.S. military bases across the Gulf and a commercial vessel suffering severe damage near one of the world's most strategic shipping lanes.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world's most important maritime chokepoints, carrying nearly 20% of global traded oil and gas. Any disruption to traffic through the strait has the potential to send oil prices soaring, disrupt global trade, and increase the risk of a wider regional conflict.
