00:13We may have heard the word war so often that it has become a distant and mundane term.
00:20But those words suddenly felt close, real before our eyes when the United States and Israel attacked Tehran on
00:28February 28, 2026.
00:33The world seemed to stop breathing, this time the war was taking place on the most vital energy lines on earth.
00:40On March 2, 2026, an angry Iran officially closed the Strait of Hormuz, shocking the public.
00:53The narrow strait connecting the Persian Gulf and the Indian Ocean suddenly turned into the most tense point on the world map.
01:00Iran is not bluffing, this is not an empty threat.
01:05Only on lucky days did a number of tankers and cargo ships that dared to pass through have to accept the consequences of being targeted by missiles and drones.
01:13The usually busy shipping lanes were suddenly silent with fear.
01:17Time seemed to slow down in the waters that never slept.
01:21Crude oil prices also shot up.
01:23From around 72 USD per barrel, it has broken through the 100 USD per barrel mark.
01:29The increase spread quickly to fuel prices in various countries.
01:33Logistics costs are skyrocketing, hitting the trade and distribution sector.
01:37Gas, butterflies, and food are all caught up in the spiral of rising energy costs.
01:42The international media, which was previously focused on the war, is now filled with complaints from heads of state.
01:49The threat of a global recession, which was previously vague, has become a real shadow.
01:53The closure of the Strait of Hormuz King is truly a disaster.
01:56Not only the Middle East, Asia and Europe were also affected.
02:02The world's dependence on the Strait of Hormuz is growing stronger.
02:05Luckily, good news came on the 2nd week of April.
02:08The United States and Tehran agreed to a ceasefire.
02:11The world breathed a sigh of relief, even though its chest was still tight with uncertainty.
02:17But silently, everyone realized that hope was fragile.
02:21Because the embers in the Strait of Hormuz have not completely died out.
02:25No one dares to hope for more, let alone pin their hopes on a leader like Trump.
02:30who consistently uses confrontation as his main bargaining tool.
02:36One thing is certain, as long as diplomacy is still defeated by the clash of arms,
02:40then the disaster in the Strait of Hormuz will continue.
