Businesses have doled out up to $4 million to cross boats through the Panama Canal to dodge ongoing chaos in the Strait of Hormuz, which has created a seismic shift in global trade flows. The average price to cross through the canal ranges between $300,000 and $400,000 depending on the vessel passing through. But in a number of cases, companies that have had to re-route last minute and carry sensitive cargo like petroleum have paid big money to jump the line.
U.S. President Donald Trump says he has ordered the U.S. military to “shoot and kill” small Iranian boats that deploy mines to choke traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Trump’s post on social media Thursday came shortly after the U.S. military seized another tanker associated with the smuggling of Iranian oil. That ratcheted up a standoff with Tehran over the strait through which 20% of all crude oil and natural gas traded passes. The Defense Department released video footage of U.S. forces on the deck of the oil tanker Majestic X, which was seized in the Indian Ocean. Trump also announced that a ceasefire in Lebanon would be extended by three weeks.

The Defense Department released video footage of U.S. forces on the deck of the oil tanker Majestic X, which was seized in the Indian Ocean. It said U.S. forces would continue global maritime enforcement to disrupt “illicit networks and interdict vessels” that provide support to Iran.
