In today’s video, we look at a major escalation in the Iran conflict that could have huge consequences for the global economy.

Overnight, Donald Trump issued a dramatic ultimatum on Truth Social, giving Iran 48 hours to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face the destruction of its power infrastructure. This represents a significant turning point in the crisis and raises serious concerns about further escalation across the Middle East.

We are now seeing:

• Direct threats against energy infrastructure
• Retaliatory attacks impacting global LNG supply
• Severe disruption to the Strait of Hormuz
• Rapidly rising oil and gas prices
• Increasing risks of a global recession

With around 20% of global oil and gas flows passing through the Strait of Hormuz, any disruption has immediate global consequences. Oil prices could surge towards $200 per barrel, while gas prices in Europe have already more than doubled.

At the same time, Iran has launched long-range ballistic missiles and warned of further strikes on key infrastructure across the region. There are also growing concerns about the broader geopolitical risks, including potential escalation involving nuclear capabilities.

In response to the crisis, the US has taken unprecedented steps to stabilize energy markets, including relaxing sanctions on both Russian and Iranian oil — a move that highlights just how serious this situation has become.

This is no longer just a regional conflict. This is now a global energy crisis in the making, with the potential to trigger widespread inflation, economic disruption, and a global recession.

👉 In this video, we break down:

• Trump’s 48-hour ultimatum
• The impact on global energy markets
• The risks to oil and gas supply
