Iran has placed global shipping on alert after announcing live-fire naval drills near the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most strategic oil trade routes. Reports say the IRGC will lead the exercises, deploying fast-attack vessels through the narrow waterway on Sunday and Monday. The move has heightened international concern, as the strait serves as a vital passage for global energy supplies making any military activity there a potential risk to worldwide oil markets.
