## Resource

The Strait of Hormuz, vital for global oil and gas, has turned into a flashpoint since the Iran conflict erupted four months ago — with ships stuck, prices soaring, and the US imposing its own blockade. As fighting winds down, the UK and France propose a naval escort mission to secure the strait, but US Secretary Marco Rubio calls it a catch-22 — why protect ships if no one’s shooting? He admits escorts might offer reassurance post-conflict, but insists the US won’t lift sanctions on Iran in exchange for access — a key demand Europe urgently needs. Rubio’s pushing for this to be a top G7 agenda item, while questioning why the world should wait to secure the route once hostilities cease.
