The Revolutionary Guard (IRGC) of #Iran is controlling the #StraitOfHormuz, despite the ceasefire—

The IRGC (designated a terror group by many, including the #USA) is deciding which ships may pass through the Strait and charging tolls payable in cryptocurrency or Chinese yuan, the latter of which "has alarmed regional officials as threatening reduced Western and allied influence over #oil markets."

The closure of the Strait is causing #energy concerns and increased #inflation globally.

How long will it take petrol prices to get back to pre-Iran war levels, if at all?
By Daniel Mercer and Emilia Terzon

Iran's promise to reopen the Strait of Hormuz after striking a temporary agreement with the US saw the cost of oil fall sharply. But how quickly are we likely to see relief at the bowser in Australia? Analysts say it could be weeks or months.

Mega-corporations like Shell, BP, and BAE Systems are set to make MASSIVE profits this year. While families in Iran are facing the horrific reality of war, Big Oil, banks, and weapons makers are busy raking in billions off the back of it.
