US President Donald Trump is reshaping the global energy map through the conflict with Iran. The Strait of Hormuz has been practically blocked by Iranian forces, while oil prices have surpassed $100 per barrel.

Oil giants have warned Trump of a new energy crisis. The US is targeting not just Iran but also Venezuela and the Chinese oil market, further complicating the global energy picture.
