## Resource

Let's dive into the volatile waters of the Strait of Hormuz, a vital path for global oil and gas trade. This narrow passage has been in the news a lot lately, and not for good reasons. As of July 1, 2026, the Strait remains heavily affected by geopolitical tensions, primarily following the outbreak of hostilities between the U.S., Israel, and Iran on February 28 of this year. Since then, this crucial artery, responsible for about 20% of the world's oil and 25% of liquefied natural gas exports, has faced significant blockages and increased risk, creating a tightly wound knot in the global supply chain.
