Strait of Hormuz Blocked After Iran Strike – Global Oil Crisis Begins

Описание: Iran’s Supreme Leader has reportedly been killed following a strike allegedly targeting Iran’s top leadership. Within hours, Iran moved to shut down the Strait of Hormuz — the world’s most critical oil chokepoint.

According to statements from Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu, the operation was aimed at neutralizing Iran’s leadership structure. Inside Iran, protests and calls for retaliation are spreading, while missiles have reportedly been launched toward Gulf cities.

But the real story is bigger than Iran.

The Strait of Hormuz carries nearly 20% of the world’s oil supply. If it remains blocked, exports from Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Iraq and Kuwait could be severely disrupted.

And when Gulf oil slows, global buyers look elsewhere.

That “elsewhere” is increasingly Russia.

With large production capacity and alternative export routes, Moscow could benefit from prolonged instability in the Gulf. In recent years, both China and India have increased imports of Russian crude — preparing for exactly this kind of energy shock.

If Hormuz stays closed, global energy flows may shift away from the Gulf toward Russia — potentially redrawing the geopolitical balance of power.
