🚨 THE WORLD’S JUGULAR VEIN: If Hormuz ignites, the global economy bleeds
The Strait of Hormuz is only about 21 miles wide at its narrowest point — yet nearly a fifth of the planet’s oil and a huge share of global LNG flows through it every single day.
This is not just a shipping lane.
It is the artery of modern civilisation.
If mines are deployed, missiles launched, or tankers struck, the consequences would move at lightning speed:
Oil doesn’t creep up — it spikes.
Insurance markets freeze.
Tankers halt mid-voyage.
Supply chains seize.
Within hours, the shock would be felt from petrol stations to stock markets across the world.

It only needs to create chaos long enough to send economic shockwaves through the global system.
The U.S. Navy could eventually reopen the corridor — but not instantly, and not without risk.
This is why Hormuz remains one of the most dangerous flashpoints on Earth.
Because when this choke point tightens…
The entire world feels it.
Stand by.
