Well supportedReported by 116 independent outlets

A US attack caused a blockage in the Strait of Hormuz, escalating regional tensions while Egypt nationalized its canal.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The disruption of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical waterway handling about a fifth of global oil supplies, is driving a global energy crisis. Doubts about efforts to stabilize prices have caused diesel futures to trade sharply higher. The instability in the Middle East continues to be a primary driver of Brent crude oil price volatility.

Donald Trump has sought a peace deal with Iran while Israel intensified its campaign against Iran-backed militias.
