Energy Chokepoint Weaponization Reshapes Global Economic Security Architecture
Iran's retaliation against Gulf energy infrastructure, disrupting 20% of global oil/LNG flows through Hormuz while targeting UAE and Saudi facilities, demonstrates how regional conflicts now directly threaten global economic stability. The 13% oil price spike and suspension of major ports like Dubai's Jebel Ali reveal critical vulnerabilities in the current energy transit system.
This escalation establishes energy infrastructure as legitimate military targets, forcing fundamental reassessment of global supply chain resilience and energy security strategies.
