The Stratos Brief

Oil, missiles and shipping now meet at Hormuz.

On 7 May, Iran reportedly launched missiles, drones and small boats as three U.S. Navy destroyers transited the Strait of Hormuz.

The U.S. answered with strikes on Iranian military sites. Washington says no U.S. assets were hit.

That is the danger: not peace, not full war, but escalation managed hour by hour around one of the world’s most important energy chokepoints.
