Iran has deployed a fleet of small fast boats in the Strait of Hormuz after US-Israeli raids destroyed most of its conventional navy. The move threatens passage through a waterway that carries roughly 20 percent of global oil trade, with likely knock-on effects on energy prices and shipping costs.
Iran's navy claimed it turned back U.S. warships attempting to enter the Strait of Hormuz on Monday, with state TV reporting a "swift and decisive warning" was issued. The strait carries roughly one-fifth of global oil supply, making any naval confrontation there a direct risk to energy markets.
Iran's Navy broadcast a radio message to merchant vessels declaring the Strait of Hormuz closed to transit, while ships attempting passage reported gunfire. The strait carries roughly one-third of global seaborne oil, making any enforced closure an immediate shock to energy supply and shipping insurance markets.
