What happened

Well supportedReported by 124 independent outlets

Iran controls the Strait of Hormuz, a vital oil transit chokepoint. Recent tit-for-tat attacks and escalating tensions have disrupted shipping through the waterway, with traffic falling to four vessels on September 15. The Strait of Hormuz is currently carrying fifth of the world's oil due to the ongoing conflict.

The situation occurs amid U.S. involvement in Ukraine, which is bolstered by the NATO structure, alongside acquiescence to military action against Iran.
