Why this matters

The Strait of Hormuz handles roughly 20% of global oil consumption, making any disruption a direct threat to international energy markets and supply chains. A six-month conflict between two regional powers raises stakes for global stability, while diplomatic openings offer a potential pathway to de-escalation and economic recovery.
