Lately
Two chokepoints west of Malacca came under armed pressure in the same season: US and Iranian forces traded strikes around Hormuz, where a supertanker was stopped after hitting mines, and Houthi forces pushed toward Bab al-Mandab in fighting that killed 81 in a day. Oil jumped 4% on supply fears as the same cargoes route east through Malacca.
