Strait of Hormuz Flashpoint: A ship anchored off the UAE was seized and taken toward Iranian waters, while an Indian-flagged wooden cargo vessel (Haji Ali) sank after an attack near Oman; all 14 crew were rescued by Oman’s coast guard. Diplomacy vs. escalation: As tensions rise, India called the attack “unacceptable,” and Iran pressed BRICS to condemn US/Israel actions. US-China talks: Trump met Xi in Beijing, saying they agreed the strait must stay open and Iran should not get nuclear arms. Somalia shipping pressure: The incidents land as Somalia’s drought-driven hunger crisis deepens and piracy pressure returns—Houthis and Iran-linked dynamics are again reshaping routes around the Horn, raising costs and risk for vessels moving from Somalia toward Gulf ports. Industry signal: DP World says it remains bullish on Africa expansion, but warns fuel-price inflation from the Iran war could bite demand and consumer spending.
