Analysis Summary
Iran struck a container ship with a drone in the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, prompting a near-complete halt to shipping traffic in the waterway. This marks the latest escalation in ongoing U.S.-Iran military conflict that has already disrupted global oil markets for weeks. The strike forced the U.N. to pause an evacuation effort and led Secretary of State Marco Rubio to visit Gulf allies to reassure them about the security situation.
