Briefings

Following Israeli and US strikes on Iran, the Strait of Hormuz remains nearly closed, carrying only a fraction of global oil demand. The Security Council is scheduled to address this maritime security threat at Bahrain's request, though a resolution to halt fighting has not yet been reached.

Key points

• The Strait of Hormuz has effectively shut down, carrying approximately 20% of the world's oil supply since the conflict began.
• The Security Council is scheduled to meet at Bahrain's request to discuss the ongoing maritime security threat.

Context

This briefing covers the immediate post-conflict maritime situation where Iran has blocked the critical shipping route. The Security Council's upcoming session aims to address the humanitarian and economic consequences of the blockade.

Limitations

Data on oil flow rates is approximate; the exact percentage of global oil carried is an estimate. The Security Council meeting date is scheduled but not confirmed; no specific resolution text exists.
