The Strait of Hormuz just became a red line.
It’s not a warning anymore. It’s a trigger.
Between June 10 and 11, the US launched what it calls “self‑defense” airstrikes on multiple targets inside Iran.
The Defense Secretary didn’t mince words: more key Iranian facilities will be bombed.
Iran’s response?
Closed the Strait of Hormuz to all vessels.
Any ship that tries to pass? Attacked.
Missiles fired at US bases.
A US military helicopter shot down.
The fragile ceasefire isn’t just cracking—it’s collapsing.
And markets are noticing.
WTI crude jumped over 3% – now above $92 a barrel.
Let that sink in:
The Strait handles ~20% of global oil shipments.
One closure. One retaliation. One mistake.
And supply chains from Europe to Asia feel it within days.
This isn’t about politics anymore.
It’s about fuel prices, shipping insurance, and the real cost of escalation.
Two questions worth asking today:
How long before $100 oil feels normal?
Who steps in before a stray missile decides the next headline?
