Experts warn US-Iran war and Hormuz deadlock could last months

Analysts are warning that the armed conflict between the United States and Iran, along with the resulting deadlock in the Strait of Hormuz, could drag on for months. The Strait of Hormuz carries a critical share of global oil supplies, and its continued blockade poses a major threat to world energy markets. Experts cite significant political and military barriers on both sides preventing a swift resolution.
