Closing the Strait of Hormuz
Iran’s threat to navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of the world’s gas and oil supplies pass, has led to a sharp rise in energy prices around the world.
In an effort to contain the turmoil in the markets, Pisant temporarily suspended US sanctions on the quantities of Iranian and Russian oil on board ships.
