LIVE | Lawrence Wong Compares Hormuz Threat To Devastating 1970s Oil Shock | Iran War | Hormuz

Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong has issued a serious warning over the growing Strait of Hormuz crisis, cautioning citizens to “brace ourselves” for a more difficult period ahead as global tensions escalate. Wong compared the current situation to the devastating oil shocks of the 1970s, warning that disruptions to key shipping lanes and energy flows could become even more severe if tensions continue rising in the Gulf region.

The remarks come amid fears of renewed confrontation involving Iran, the United States, and major naval powers operating near the Strait of Hormuz — one of the world’s most important oil transit routes. Analysts warn that any prolonged disruption in Hormuz could trigger sharp spikes in global oil prices, rising inflation, economic slowdown, and wider geopolitical instability affecting countries across Asia, Europe, and beyond.
