What happened

Well supportedReported by 9 independent outlets

President Donald Trump launched a war against Iran in August 2026, leading to economic collapse in the country and threats to the Strait of Hormuz region. The conflict escalated to the point where the Strait of Hormuz shipping route was closed in September 2026. This closure has caused oil prices to surge globally, with prices reportedly exceeding $107 per barrel.

The crisis has engulfed the entire Middle East in a situation involving the destruction of oil and gas infrastructure.
