00:00Am I the only one that didn't realize just how much the world depends on the Strait of Hormuz?
00:05If you thought a single shipping lane couldn't shake global markets, think again.
00:10Here's why everyone's watching this stretch of water.
00:13Right now, commercial ships are steering clear of Iranian waters near the Strait of Hormuz,
00:18hugging Oman's coast due to rising tensions between Israel and Iran.
00:22We're seeing increased electronic navigation interference.
00:25Think GPS jamming and spoofing, making the area even riskier for mariners.
00:30Authorities from Greece and the UK are officially advising ships to avoid Iranian territory altogether.
00:35Why does this matter?
00:37About 15-20% of the world's crude oil and LNG pass through Hormuz daily.
00:43Disruptions here have already doubled shipping rates and sent insurance costs soaring.
00:48Rerouted vessels and delays are likely to continue as long as tensions persist.
00:52Bottom line?
00:54What happens in the Strait of Hormuz doesn't stay there.
00:56It impacts global energy prices, shipping costs and geopolitical stability.
