What happened
Donald Trump threatened to “annihilate” Iran at the UN General Assembly. Concurrently, the US military redirected 115 commercial vessels under a 'steel wall' blockade. Iran’s National Security Council secretary stated that Tehran plans to announce a new “restricted zone” for shipping outside the Strait of Hormuz.
Why it matters
The Strait of Hormuz accounts for the shipment of some 20% of global oil. Tehran insists that no vessel can pass through the Strait without its permission. The ongoing military tensions and blockades affect global oil market sentiment.
