Iran closes Strait of Hormuz to commercial shipping
→All tanker and cargo transits halted immediately
Change
Iran shut the Strait of Hormuz, immediately halting commercial vessel traffic through a route carrying roughly 20% of global oil and LNG flows.
Why it matters
Shipping movements through the chokepoint are blocked, forcing operators to suspend voyages or reroute via longer paths while insurers reassess coverage and approvals.
Implications
- → Shipping routes halted — global supply disruption escalates
- → Insurers restrict coverage — voyage approvals constrained
