VaticanNews portal reports on the ongoing military and economic crisis in the Strait of Hormuz, where a US naval vessel implements a maritime blockade amid continued hostilities between the United States, Iran, and Israel. The article describes a fragile ceasefire, continued missile attacks from Iran against UAE targets, and catastrophic disruptions to global trade, with Danish shipping giant Maersk passing sharply higher costs onto customers. The strait, which normally carries approximately 20% of the world’s oil and liquefied natural gas, has been effectively blockaded by Iran since late February, when US and Israeli forces began attacking Iranian targets. The article quotes Maersk CEO Vincent Clerc warning that even an immediate reopening would not resolve the backlog, and that insurers may continue classifying the area as high-risk, keeping freight rates elevated and energy markets tight. The entire report is framed in purely naturalistic, geopolitical terms — a telling omission that reveals the spiritual blindness of the conciliar sect’s media apparatus, which cannot or will not diagnose the true root cause of such conflicts: the public rejection of the Social Kingship of Our Lord Jesus Christ by nations and their rulers.
