Last update: 9 hours agoStrait of Hormuz Tolls & Undersea Risk: Iran-US strikes traded again over the weekend, while Iran’s push to charge for Strait of Hormuz navigation raises fresh fears for energy flows and the wider environmental fallout of chokepoint disruption; separate reporting warns undersea cables and other critical infrastructure are increasingly vulnerable to sabotage and conflict-linked interference.
