The Frontline Impact

How this affects you

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical passageway for the world’s oil and natural gas, and its closure during the war created a historic energy crisis. While some ships are now transiting, the main central route remains closed due to mines, limiting capacity and indicating a full reopening will take weeks or months.
