The shipping lane in the Strait of Hormuz is only one mile wide, significantly narrower than the 30-plus mile width often cited, which poses risks for oil tankers.

In 2026, the oil market could lose between 18 to 22 million barrels per day, a figure greater than the combined losses from previous major conflicts.
The decapitation strike against Iran's leadership has failed to achieve regime change, as the IRGC remains operational and has adapted its defense strategy.
