The Strait of Hormuz (Persian Gulf) channels 20% of global oil transit through a 21-mile chokepoint between Iran and Oman. Escalating US-Iran tensions since February 2026 have triggered ship seizures, sinkings, and closure threats, driving energy volatility across Europe, commodity markets, and Panama Canal traffic surge.

UAE fast-tracking second West-East oil pipeline to bypass Strait of Hormuz; increased Panama Canal traffic diversion due to closure risk.
