## Resource

The Strait of Hormuz, vital for global oil flow, is locked in a high-stakes standoff where Iran’s drone and missile strikes threaten shipping—and possibly trigger a massive U.S. military response. Experts warn restoring normal traffic may require tens of thousands of ground troops, as airstrikes can’t reach hidden Iranian assets. With oil prices rising and U.S. elections looming, the crisis tests both Iran’s resolve and America’s willingness to escalate. Markets are already rattled, underscoring how fragile global stability is—and how much political risk this poses for Trump’s re-election bid.
