| Sixty-two days ago, when the United States and Israel launched strikes on Iran and killed Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the world held its breath. Today, it is beginning to choke. The Strait of Hormuz — that narrow, twenty-one-mile passage through which a quarter of the world’s seaborne oil and a fifth of its liquefied natural gas once flowed freely — has been effectively closed since 28 February 2026.

And if disruptions continue only through midyear — not even through the end of the year — thirty-two million people will be pushed into poverty and forty-five million more will face extreme hunger. In the worst-case scenario, where severe disruptions persist through December, the Secretary-General spoke of something no living generation has witnessed on this scale: a full global recession, with inflation exceeding six percent and growth plummeting to two.
