On Tuesday, missile attacks hit two oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, one registered to the UAE, killing a crew member and reviving hostilities that the U.S. and Iran were believed to have paused weeks earlier. Within hours, U.S. Central Command reinstated its naval blockade on Iranian ports, and global oil markets reacted sharply, with Brent crude surging more than 9% in one day, the largest single-day increase in over six years.

The conflict between the United States and Iran has violently reignited. On July 8, US President Donald Trump terminated the ceasefire with Iran, which was reached last month, declaring it “over” after fresh attacks by US and Iranian forces in the Gulf. According to the US Central Command, forces within the US have launched strikes on more than 80 sites inside Iran after Iran’s Revolutionary Guard attacked three American commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.
