Iran exploits Strait of Hormuz

The text explains that Iran employs drone and cruise missile attacks on civilian ships to disrupt trade movements, although the strait has not been completely closed. It highlights that the United States and its allies are working on establishing alternative routes and expanding pipeline networks to reduce reliance on Hormuz, noting that approximately 60% of oil could be transported via alternative means by 2028.
