The U.S.-Israeli war on Iran has effectively shut the Strait of Hormuz, the narrow shipping lane between Iran and Oman through which around a fifth of the world’s daily oil and liquefied natural gas (LNG) supplies passes. Clare is a Data Visualization Developer at Reuters focusing on cartography and graphics. She previously worked at Mapbox and National Geographic Magazine.

Prasanta Kumar Dutta is an information experience designer from India, working at the intersection of design, coding, and journalism at Reuters Graphics since 2019. With a background in engineering and design, he crafts data-driven pieces that help narrate important stories visually.
