Brent crude surged to its highest level in more than a year as tanker movements through the waterway largely halted, sending shockwaves through global energy markets. Sara Vakhshouri, President & Founder at SVB Energy International spoke to Bloomberg’s Horizons Middle East and Africa anchor Joumanna Bercetche on the potential disruptions from the strikes.
