US Centcom says Hormuz blockade will begin Monday and will only apply to Iranian ports; China will be most affected
US forces are enforcing a blockade on vessels entering or leaving Iranian ports in the Strait of Hormuz, a move experts deem an act of war.
This directly impacts China, the largest buyer of Iranian oil, and could cripple Iran's economy.
While India's direct exposure is minimal, global energy markets face significant disruption.
