Strait of Hormuz Shutdown | The Secret Bypass Iran Fears

The Strait of Hormuz is effectively closed in March 2026—tanker traffic has collapsed over 90%, prices are spiking, and Gulf oil is trapped. Bypass pipelines like Saudi's East-West and UAE's Fujairah are maxed out, but they cover only a fraction of flows.
