## How has this war affected oil prices and ships?

## Answers

### Answer by Manish Kumar

A lot. The Strait of [Hormuz](https://yourviews.mindstick.com/view/88526/us-expects-tehran-s-reply-to-peace-deal-clashes-in-hormuz) is a very important route for oil ships. Iran has attacked ships there many times to show its power over this route. Because of this, oil prices keep going up and down depending on the fighting. Sadly, this war has also touched India directly — an Indian sailor was killed when his ship was hit near the Strait.
