Three world news shocks to watch today

Could one chokepoint in the Middle East rattle oil, shipping, and diplomacy at once? Today's biggest world news points to exactly that, plus a Gaza barrier and a new Canada tariff shock. Here's what to know.

🧵 1/5

Strait of Hormuz crisis: AP says Iran attacked a tanker, US strikes continued, and shipping through the waterway has largely stalled. The strait carries about one-fifth of peacetime crude and gas trade, so global energy prices are on edge.

🧵 2/5

Gaza barrier move: AP reports Israel is building a physical barrier inside Gaza along the ceasefire's yellow line. If that line hardens, a temporary split could start looking permanent. What does that mean for the ceasefire next?

🧵 3/5

Canada tariff shock: BBC says Trump has imposed 50% tariffs on Canadian goods, escalating trade tensions fast. That raises the risk of a wider North American trade fight, and the fallout could hit prices well beyond politics.
