Hormuz Blockade Drives Global Energy Crisis
The blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for a quarter of the world's oil, is causing unprecedented disruption to international markets.
Energy giants like Vitol and Trafigura report that the conflict has already removed a billion barrels of oil from the market, driving up the costs of fuel, food, and manufacturing.
European nations are considering the use of emergency fuel stocks as airlines cancel flights due to skyrocketing jet fuel prices.
Analysts warn that the shipping route may never return to its pre-war normal, forcing a permanent shift in global logistics.
