Why it matters

This escalation occurs amid ongoing tensions in the Strait of Hormuz, a critical global chokepoint for oil and LNG shipments. The strikes are part of a wider military campaign by the US to counter Iranian threats to international shipping, raising the risk profile for all commercial traffic in the region.
