5 Actions Every Household Should Take NOW

Strait of Hormuz — The World's Most Critical Chokepoint

A narrow "Larak corridor" overseen by the IRGC allows select Chinese, Russian, Indian and allied vessels to transit. Iran has announced it will charge a toll for Hormuz passage. A French CMA CGM container ship became the first Western-linked vessel to transit since the closure began, signalling possible slow reopening.
