Why it matters

The recent Iranian missile and drone attacks on Mideast countries have strained trust between Iran and its GCC neighbors, leading to concerns about oil market stability. The US has granted a temporary license to Indian refiners to import Russian crude, while the Strait of Hormuz has seen a near-total halt in traffic. This development may impact global oil supply and prices.
