Iran war redraws sea routes with Africa as the pivot
The ongoing tensions around Iran and in the Red Sea are completely reshaping global trade. The key takeaway? Africa is becoming a new pivot point. Ships are avoiding dangerous waters, rerouting massively around the Cape of Good Hope instead of using the Suez Canal. This means longer journeys, higher shipping costs, and ports like Jeddah getting clogged as they become alternative hubs. It's a major shift with real economic consequences for everyone.
