💥 BREAKING: Strait of Hormuz Incident

🇮🇷 Iranian armed gunships allegedly attempted to seize a US-linked oil tanker in the strategic Strait of Hormuz.

📊 Why it matters:

• Strait handles ~20% of global oil flows

• Escalation → higher energy risk premiums

• Shipping insurance & freight costs spike

• Markets react to threat perception, not confirmation

⚠️ This narrow chokepoint can reprice oil, inflation, and risk assets almost instantly.
