Strait of Hormuz blockade: impact on locals and seafarers
Since the US-Israel strikes on Iran began on February 28, the Strait of Hormuz has been effectively blocked. This key strategy by Iran has upended global oil supplies and pressured its opponents.
FRANCE 24's correspondent Reza Sayah headed out onto the water to talk with people in the region. He aimed to understand what the blockade means for the seafarers stranded there and those who call its islands home.
Plans are in place for the key shipping channel to be fully reopened after Friday, June 19. Until then, stranded seafarers and local islanders face uncertainty. Their perspectives highlight how this geopolitical conflict is affecting everyday people in a region critical to global energy markets.
