Israel has intensified its military campaign against Iran, with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claiming strikes are "breaking the bones" of Iranian capabilities. This escalation threatens to disrupt the Strait of Hormuz and regional air cargo hubs, potentially triggering a global energy and logistics crisis.
The ongoing US-Israeli conflict with Iran has triggered a 25% surge in global oil prices and the suspension of nearly 20% of the world's energy supply. With the Strait of Hormuz effectively closed, logistics networks are grappling with damaged infrastructure and a massive backlog of 140 million barrels of oil.
US President Donald Trump’s demand for Iran’s “unconditional surrender” has triggered a near-total halt of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, sending Brent crude to $90 a barrel. Major carriers like Maersk are suspending services as regional conflict escalates, threatening a total shutdown of Gulf energy exports.
