DLHS Hour 3 | Global oil shipping grounded to a halt due to Iran conflict

The show turns global as they unpack the oil crisis triggered by escalating Iran–U.S.–Israel conflict. Recent strikes and retaliatory threats have brought tanker traffic in the Strait of Hormuz to a near standstill, leaving more than 150 vessels stranded and disrupting up to 20% of the world’s seaborne oil supply. The ripple effects—weeks‑long shipping delays, rerouted vessels around Africa, and surging fuel prices—underscore how international conflict instantly reshapes daily life. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
