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.
