Oil flows will not return to normal until the second half of next
year - even if the Strait of Hormuz opens now.

That’s the grim prognosis of the UAE’s most senior oil executive.
But even if it does open, Iran is implementing a system of tolls
that will have long-term implications, both in the Middle East
and further afield. International economic editor Hans van
Leeuwen tells Roland Oliphant how the ongoing crisis in the
Strait of Hormuz is transforming shipping all over the
world.

Hans also looks at why India’s leader Narendra Modi is in Europe
at the moment trying to drum up deals amid fears the Iran war
could impact his country’s superpower trajectory.

Meanwhile, Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu clash over whether
to restart active hostilities, Pakistan’s army chief heads to
Tehran to coax the regime towards a peace deal, and Iran says it
will not give up its Uranium.

How Iran’s Strait of Hormuz toll could spread worldwide

trajectory
