Singapore Prime Minister Lawrence Wong has warned that rising tensions involving Iran and the Strait of Hormuz could trigger wider instability, economic disruption and global uncertainty. Speaking amid growing concerns over regional escalation, Wong said further conflict in the Gulf would have consequences far beyond the Middle East, particularly for energy supplies, shipping routes and international markets. The Strait of Hormuz remains one of the world’s most critical oil transit chokepoints, with any disruption closely watched by governments and investors worldwide. Singapore, a major global trade and shipping hub, has repeatedly called for restraint and diplomatic efforts to prevent further escalation.
