Hormuz Reopening Faces Costly Hurdles
The News
Clara Gillespie, a senior fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations, stated that the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz faces costly hurdles. She noted that Gulf energy flows are experiencing an uncertain recovery as producers work to clear ships, bring in tankers, restart halted output, and repair damage to refineries, LNG facilities, and ports. This matters because the Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global energy supplies, and disruptions affect energy markets worldwide.
