## Resource

The Strait of Hormuz is turning into a high-stakes maritime battleground as Iran disrupts shipping with mines and attacks, trapping over a thousand vessels and twenty thousand sailors. Despite U.S. military coordination to ensure safe passage without direct escorts, some ships are negotiating risky deals with Iran—potentially involving crypto, cash, or donations—risking U.S. sanctions. Over a hundred tankers have managed to slip out, often at night, with U.S. helicopters intervening to fend off Iranian threats. The UK has recorded 44 incidents since March, including deaths, while a ceasefire since April 8 hasn’t stopped both sides from vying for control. Meanwhile, U.S. forces have rerouted 100+ vessels near Hormuz, and Iran’s stance on a potential Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire complicates regional diplomacy further.
