Iran's Shadow Fleet Shutdown Threatens to Disrupt Russian and Chinese Energy Supplies

Iran's strait shutdown threatens to disrupt shadow shipping networks and sanctions-evasion routes, raising energy costs for Moscow and Beijing, potentially squeezing Russia's war funding and China's significant oil imports. The move could cripple global supply chains and increase prices for consumers worldwide. If successful, it would be a major blow to Russia's war efforts and give the US more leverage in its dealings with Iran.
