Six Months of Iran War: Piracy Surges and Oil Volatility

๐Ÿฟ๏ธ The Squirrel's Take
While Trump claims progress, the real victory is pirates getting a free ride on global chaos.
๐Ÿ’ก Why it matters
The surge in piracy threatens international shipping lanes and could drive up insurance costs and oil prices, affecting global trade.

Six months into the US-Iran war, Somali piracy has surged with 13 attacks since January and two ships seized in four days. The conflict has also caused significant oil price fluctuations as visualized by The Guardian.
