CLAIM · ASSESSED ~ · CONFIDENCE 0.50
A conflict between the United States and Iran caused restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz, disrupting India's oil imports.
WHY THIS MATTERS · This matters because with inspectors locked out of Fordow and Natanz, the world no longer knows how much enriched uranium Iran actually has, shrinking the warning time before a possible weapon and raising the odds of a preemptive Israeli or US strike based on guesswork.
