Iran has reportedly made a dramatic new ceasefire offer to the United States, proposing to reopen the vital Strait of Hormuz and pause escalating tensions in the Middle East. The move comes amid fears of a global oil supply crisis that could hit African economies hard.
The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most important oil routes, and disruptions there have already pushed crude prices higher. Analysts warn that African nations dependent on imported fuel could soon face rising petrol prices, transport costs, and food inflation.
