20,000 sailors stranded amid US-Iran blockade in Strait of Hormuz

The escalation of the US-Iran blockade in the Strait of Hormuz has left 20,000 sailors stranded, causing instability in the global energy market. This situation stems from recent US-Israeli offensive and Iranian retaliation, leading to a breakdown in US-Iran negotiations and the continuation of the blockade. Market pricing suggests a decreased likelihood of a blockade lift announcement.
