The 2026 Iran conflict has blocked the Strait of Hormuz, cutting off 20% of the world's oil supply and triggering a global logistics nightmare. Airlines are grounded, shelves are empty, and the economic shockwaves are being felt worldwide.

In response, a new Business English lesson on YouTube teaches key vocabulary to help professionals discuss supply chain disruptions, energy shortages, and economic instability. The lesson covers advanced terms such as crude oil, shipment, shortage, assets, LNG, force majeure, stagflation, domestic, energy reserves, and cap.

Designed for MBA students, professionals, and advanced English learners, the lesson uses a real-world geopolitical crisis to build fluency in global business conversations.
