Strait Talk: UNCLOS the strait!
As tensions in the Strait of Hormuz continue to evolve, the balance of power in one of the world’s most critical energy corridors remains highly uncertain. Despite periods of ceasefire, the situation on the ground tells a more complex story — with the US maintaining pressure through a naval blockade while Iran tightens its control over vessel movements and explores mechanisms such as transit fees and regulated passage.
In this video insight, our experts take a closer look at how the Hormuz situation is unfolding — from the implications of Iran’s evolving stance on transit and tolls, to the impact of US enforcement measures — and what it all means for oil flows, regional trade dynamics, and global market sentiment in the weeks ahead.
Join Tom Reed, VP – China, Crude & Oil Products, alongside Dubai-based experts Nader Itayim, Middle East Editor, and John Ollet, Editor - Crude on this Strait Talk episode.
