Will the crisis in Hormuz cause an industrial disaster?

Observador9 September 2026 at 08:09

The Strait of Hormuz is facing a crisis that could have serious consequences for the world economy. Military expert, researcher and full professor Francisco Proença Garcia warned about the situation, stating that the United States of America no longer controls this strategic maritime passage.

According to Proença Garcia, the loss of American control over the strait represents a significant shift in the balance of power in the region. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most important routes for oil transportation worldwide.

The expert also warned about the direct impact this conflict could have on fuel prices. Any disruption in this area could affect global energy markets, potentially causing price increases for consumers.

The situation raises concerns about a possible industrial disaster, should the crisis in the strait intensify and significantly affect energy supply.

Should you move from the left lane when the right lane is free within the city? Find out if you are required to change lanes

Within a locality, drivers in Portugal are not required to immediately change to the right lane just because it is free, and may travel in the lane most convenient to their destination. This rule, set out in Article 14 of the Road Code, differs from the one applied outside localities and motorways, where travel must obligatorily be made in the rightmost lane. The choice of lane must be related to the intended route, and lane changes should only be made to change direction, overtake, stop, or park. The proximity of another vehicle behind does not, in itself, create an obligation to change lanes. Violations are punished with fines between 60 and 300 euros, but traveling in the left lane with the right lane free does not automatically constitute a traffic offense.
