00:00The Middle East is on edge, and one waterway could shake the entire world.
00:04Donald Trump is now blasting U.S. allies after several countries refused his request to send warships into the Strait
00:11of Hormuz.
00:12That narrow passage carries about 20% of the world's oil and gas, and right now, it is becoming a
00:19danger zone.
00:20As Iran and Israel keep trading strikes, the crisis is spreading far beyond them.
00:25Iran has hit targets in Israel, the UAE, and even near the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad.
00:31Drone attacks forced airport closures in Dubai, halted oil operations in Fujairah, and raised fears that more energy sites could
00:39be next.
00:40Trump said he was shocked Iran struck other Gulf countries.
00:43But reports say U.S. intelligence had already warned that retaliation like this was possible.
00:49Now, oil prices are rising, global markets are nervous, and the risk of a wider regional war is growing by
00:56the day.
00:57This is no longer just a conflict between Iran and Israel.
01:01It is becoming a global economic threat.
