Iran’s navy says it has full control over the Strait of Hormuz as U.N. maritime officials report shipping disruptions
Question
Iran’s navy says it has full control over the Strait of Hormuz as U.N. maritime officials report shipping disruptions
Direct answer
The chokepoint remains a major crude-shipping risk for Brent, tanker rates, and Gulf energy logistics, with continued disruption likely to keep a geopolitical premium in oil and freight markets.
