Hormuz Blockade Impacts Global Trade
The effective closure of the strait has sent shockwaves through global supply chains, particularly impacting the flow of oil, metals, and electronics.
US Central Command has warned ships to 'prepare to be boarded' as it enforces the blockade against Iran's 'shadow fleet.' While President Trump claims the strategy is forcing Iran toward a deal, energy experts warn of a looming global food crisis as fertilizer shipments are also being disrupted.
The blockade stands as the largest-ever disruption of global energy supplies, with no immediate end in sight.
