Strait of Hormuz · SHIPPING
8/10
Severity
Iran is leveraging its strategic position to exert control over global energy transit through the Strait of Hormuz, effectively acting as a gatekeeper for 20 percent of global oil and LNG supplies.
AI Reasoning
The ability of a single state actor to disrupt 20 percent of global energy supplies represents a systemic risk to global energy security and maritime trade, warranting a high risk score due to the potential for massive economic volatility and geopolitical escalation.
