Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

These incidents occur amid broader Middle East tensions driven by the Iran war, which is already causing oil supply disruption and inflation. The increased danger in the waterway threatens maritime trade and energy supply, despite Gulf producers having restored a large share of export flows.
