Claim 3: “the Bab el-Mandeb and Hormuz blockades now simultaneously threatening roughly a third of the world's seaborne oil and gas”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While evidence exists regarding a 2026 Iran war and a US naval blockade of Iran, and general information about the Strait of Hormuz, there is no specific evidence in the provided text that quantifies the combined threat of Bab el-Mandeb and Hormuz blockades as 'roughly a third of the world's seaborne oil and gas'. Several search results were irrelevant (microservices).
