## Resource

The Strait of Hormuz, a key maritime route connecting the Persian Gulf to the Arabian Sea, is suddenly under threat due to escalating geopolitical tensions, forcing its closure and creating chaos in global energy markets. Imagine this narrow channel where about 20 million barrels of oil and a significant portion of the world’s liquefied natural gas transit daily, now rendered impassable. This situation isn’t just an inconvenience; it’s a potential economic disaster, especially for the United States, with estimated losses ranging from eight to twelve billion dollars.
