If you only eat one bagel today, this is the bagel.
Summary
The article analyzes how oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz may never return to pre-war levels following the Iran conflict. Shipowners face heightened risk calculations due to potential for renewed fighting in the Persian Gulf. Western commercial vessels are likely to avoid transiting Hormuz if it remains under Iran's de facto control, particularly due to the risk of violating U.S. sanctions by coordinating with Iran's Revolutionary Guard. The situation has serious implications given the Strait's critical role in global oil transit.
