Strait of Hormuz

The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important shipping lanes in the world, connecting the Persian Gulf with the open ocean. Roughly 20-30% of the world's oil passes through this narrow waterway. Iran is now controlling the strait, refusing to allow any passage to vessels originating from or going to ports of US-Israeli allies. Pray that those in power will have wisdom and find ways to de-escalate this tense and economically straining situation.
