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 convened in Bahrain to address rising shipping threats and stalled efforts to halt fighting, with no deal reached yet.

Key points

• The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed by Iran since November 2024, allowing only a fraction of global oil demand to pass.
• The Security Council met in Bahrain to discuss maritime security threats, but no agreement to stop fighting has been reached.
