The U.S. and Israel attacks on Iran are focusing attention on the Strait of Hormuz, a narrow but strategically vital waterway in the region that serves as a key artery for global oil shipments.
Marine traffic through the strait has slowed to a trickle since the outbreak of hostilities last week, heightening concerns that the conflict could constrain oil supplies and sharply drive up energy costs, Wall Street analysts said on Monday. The U.K. Maritime Trade Operations Center reported attacks on several vessels in the area on either side of the strait and warned of elevated electronic interference to ship navigation systems.
“Infrastructure is at risk throughout the region, and it’s not just at risk because of deliberate attacks, but also inadvertent attacks,” said Kevin Book, managing director at Clearview Energy Partners. “Shrapnel and debris from missile interceptions can fall onto facilities and disable them too, and so there are a number of challenges that come from this kind of conflict in an area with so much energy production.”
Here’s what to know about the Strait of Hormuz.
What is the Strait of Hormuz?
The strategic sea passage, located on Iran’s southern border, connects the Persian Gulf to the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea. Long an important commercial trade route, the Strait of Hormuz ordinarily enables the flow of about 20% of global oil and liquefied natural gas shipments. Experts describe it as a strategic “choke-point” for crude.

The strait — almost 100 miles long and 21 miles wide at its narrowest point — allows the world’s largest vessels to transport oil and gas from the Middle East to China, Europe and the U.S. Most of that crude comes from Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Iraq, Kuwait, Qatar and Iran.
What is happening in the Strait of Hormuz?
The Iran war has brought the passage of oil tankers through the strait to a virtual standstill, with shipping giants Maersk and Hapag-Lloyd saying they were suspending all shipments through the strait.
As a result, oil prices spiked on Monday on concerns that a prolonged disruption of crude supplies in the region could sharply boost energy costs, including U.S. gas prices.
“It is de facto closed in that no one dares to go through,” Arne Lohmann Rasmussen, chief analyst at Global Risk Management, a provider of energy market insights, told CBS News. “You can be attacked, and you can’t get insurance or it is extremely expensive, so you have to wait until the security situation is better.”
“If oil and gas coming from the strait is cut off, that has significant ramifications for the market,” he added. “While there is no physical blockade, threats from the Iranians, plus drone and missile attacks, mean tankers are not going through the strait.”
A critical question moving forward is the duration of the war and how long the strait remains too dangerous to traverse, analysts said.
“If the reduction in tanker traffic continues for a week or so, it will be historic. Beyond that, it would be epochal for the oil market with prices rising to ration scarce supply and impacts in financial markets,” S&P Global head of crude oil research Jim Burkhard said in a report.
How high could oil prices rise if the strait remains closed?
Iran could struggle to indefinitely throttle ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz as the U.S. and Israel degrade the country’s navy and other military capabilities, according to analysts. Blocking Iranian oil from being exported to markets overseas would also badly damage the company’s fragile economy, experts note.
“Iran has essentially two ways to close the strait. One is to harass or attack ships, and the other is to lay down mines,” Book of Clearview Energy told the Associated Press. “And without a navy, both of those things would be difficult.”
But an extended closure of the strait would likely cause oil prices to skyrocket, Rasmussen of Global Risk Management said.
“So far, it has just been a few days, but if this extends for weeks or months, the ramifications could be pretty severe, and we could see oil prices in the triple digits,” he told CBS News. “Then, there will be a significant drag on the world economy, and it could potentially trigger a recession. So in that sense, it’s a powerful weapon.”
Oil approaching or exceeding $100 a barrel is not a certainty. Benny Wong, senior energy analyst at Pitchbook, a provider of financial data and analysis, noted that the U.S. currently has a glut of oil that will insulate consumers from rising prices if tanker traffic through the strait is shut down for only a few days.
The U.S. is today the world’s largest oil producer and has boosted its reserves, while global oil demand has been soft in recent years amid tepid world economic growth, he said.
Are there alternatives to the Strait of Hormuz?
Oil that ordinarily would pass through the Strait of Hormuz by ship could be exported via other routes.
Those include the East-West Pipeline, also known as Petroline, a nearly 750-mile-long pipeline in Saudi Arabia that delivers oil to ports on the Red Sea. Shipments could also be diverted to the Abu Dhabi Crude Oil Pipeline, a roughly 400-mile pipeline in the United Arab Emirates that transports oil to a facility on the Gulf of Oman.
Yet such alternative routes can only accommodate a fraction of the volume of oil that ordinarily passes through the Strait of Hormuz on a daily basis, according to experts.
“There are no meaningful alternatives to that flow,” Wong said.

DONOVAN MITCHELL TOOK one glance at a postgame stat sheet and looked around the Cleveland Cavaliers locker room.
“Aye, James,” he called out for his new co-star.
It was Feb. 24, moments after the Cavs had pulled off one of their best wins of the season, a 109-94 victory against the New York Knicks in a clash of the two teams who began the season as the favorites in the Eastern Conference.
Cleveland had dropped its first two meetings with New York this season in a pair of high-profile games — opening night and Christmas Day — despite Mitchell scoring more than 30 points and shooting an identical 12-of-25 from the field in each.
On this night, the first meeting between the two squads since Cleveland revamped its roster at the deadline, Mitchell had shot 5-for-18 and finished with 23 points … and the Cavs won.
As Mitchell looked at the rundown, there was another number that caught his eye: 14. The number of free throws he had shot in the game.
“I’ll take your free throws since you can’t get any,” Mitchell yelled to Harden across the locker room. “I never get 14 of them.”
Harden had finished the game with 20 points on 8-of-18 shooting, but he failed to get to the free throw line. It’s only the third game in the past two seasons that Harden finished without attempting a free throw.
“S— one of us might as well,” Harden said, shaking his head. “As long as one of us getting it.”
The start of this connection between Cleveland’s backcourt duo could not have gone any smoother — or come at a more critical time.
The Cavs won six of their first seven games after the trade deadline, when they sent 26-year-old former All-Star Darius Garland to the LA Clippers in exchange for the 36-year-old Harden. It was the kind of all-in move Mitchell acknowledged the team needed to make to capitalize on its championship window.

‘Inside the NBA’ crew debates which East teams are title contenders
Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal break down which teams in the Eastern Conference are title contenders.
THE CAVS WERE among the most active and aggressive teams in the league at the deadline, trading their prized acquisition of last year’s deadline, De’Andre Hunter, and the offseason, Lonzo Ball — along with Garland, who had dealt with injuries all season — in a wave of deals that brought in Dennis Schroder, Keon Ellis and Harden to help a team lacking depth.
Mitchell and Harden have both racked up a plethora of accomplishments in their NBA careers — multitime All-Stars, All-NBA designations and, in Harden’s case, an MVP award. But playoff success as leading men has eluded them. Harden’s only NBA Finals appearance came during his third year in the league in 2012. Mitchell has never made it to the conference finals.
“They are two guys that are hungry to take that next step,” Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson said last week. “They’ve kind of hit it off. Been seamless, really. Two guys that are so passionate about the game. They’re both hoop junkies.
“Usually when you have that kind of synergy it goes well. With them, I haven’t seen any misunderstandings or ‘You should have went there.’ They’ve been pretty locked in on the court and off the court. Couldn’t have gotten better so far.”
Atkinson said Harden’s addition has unburdened Mitchell, who was carrying the weight of the team’s injury and inconsistency issues earlier this season. Mitchell’s 32.8 usage rate this season is his highest since 2019-20, his final season with the Utah Jazz, and ranks fifth in the NBA.
During his postgame interview session after beating the Knicks, Mitchell pointed to Cleveland’s previous game against New York, on Christmas Day, as a measurement for how far the team had grown.
The Cavs looked far from the preseason contender they were expected to be, stumbling out of the gates with a record just a few games over .500 (17-15) after blowing a 20-point lead to the Knicks.
Since then, the Cavs are 21-9, the third-best record in the NBA in that span, turning around what looked like a disastrous follow-up to their 64-win regular season in 2024-25, which already featured a disappointing finish after a second-round flameout against the Indiana Pacers.
The ending to last season was just the latest playoff disappointment in the Mitchell era. Staring down another disheartening season, the Cavaliers turned to a player who is famous for his own postseason shortcomings.
The Cavs’ hot streak has been slowed recently by a pair of injuries to their stars. Mitchell has sat out the past three games because of a groin injury and Harden fractured his right thumb last week. Mitchell is day-to-day and Atkinson said the team is not concerned about it lingering long term.
Harden returned Sunday after sitting out two games, and Atkinson acknowledged Harden was obviously not 100% but that the team needed him. He has been wearing a wrap around his thumb, and Atkinson said Friday that the star guard was still having trouble using his hand to dribble and catch without discomfort.
Yet, despite the fractured thumb, Harden has transformed a team with questions to one with answers — at least for now. The Cavs have blamed injuries for playoff exits in the past, but this season they did not want to spoil another opportunity at what they believed was a championship window.
“Sometimes with change, you kind of know right away if it’s not going to work,” Atkinson told ESPN. “This has given us such a renewed spirit.”

Cavs outlast the Nets in Brooklyn
Cavs outlast the Nets in Brooklyn
FOR INSPIRATION ON how to endure a long season, Atkinson turned to baseball.
Some staff members from the Cleveland Guardians visited the Cavs’ facility during a practice in mid-December, in the middle of one of the team’s low-point stretches of the season. It was then that Atkinson learned what the Guardians had endured the previous season.
Following an appearance in the American League Championship Series in 2024, the Guardians had entered the next season with raised expectations. But the team went on a 10-game losing streak to fall under .500 before the All-Star break and then dropped nine of 10 games during another dreary stretch in August.
Still, the Guardians rebounded to finish on a 24-8 streak to win the AL Central and return to the playoffs. Inside the facility, Atkinson listened to their stories.
“What got you through that?” he asked them.
Jose Ramirez, the Guardians’ star third baseman, they said. He’d kept the team level-headed through the down stretches. Then it dawned on Atkinson. “That’s Donovan Mitchell,” he thought to himself.
“It’s so important that your best player doesn’t go sideways,” Atkinson said.
“Donovan was key to that. He’s a positive guy. He kept us moving in the right direction. To me, if your leader starts doubting, questioning, then you’re in trouble.”
To break out of their early season slump, the Cavs held team meetings. They scheduled players-only film sessions. They planned team dinners. Tough talk, platitudes about a long season and everything in between.
“We were saying the right things,” Cavs guard Sam Merrill told ESPN. “But for some reason, [we] couldn’t quite translate it consistently to the court.” Cleveland also was often short-handed. Max Strus, who has spent most of the past two seasons as a starter, has not played yet this season. Garland sat out the start of the season after having toe surgery and was in and out of the lineup upon his return.
In turn, Mitchell shouldered more of the burden. In addition to averaging 28.5 points (seventh in the NBA), he began initiating more offense. The Cavs saw the toll the added workload started to take on their star player.
After losing to the Knicks on Christmas Day and a 17-point loss to the Rockets two days later, the Cavs were in danger of falling to .500 before a victory against the San Antonio Spurs on Dec. 29. Merrill said pulling together for a win in that game felt like a significant moment in their turnaround.
“Don’s kind of the face of where we are and he’s the most vocal as well,” Merrill said. “He’s the guy that throughout all our injuries and struggles to start the year, he was kind of the one constant. He was out there and playing great and I feel like if it wasn’t for him, we would’ve been in an even worse spot.”
Yet, sources close to Mitchell told ESPN the Cavs’ star did not want the team to sit idly by during the deadline. Cleveland began to look closer at its roster construction and look for a way to maximize its chances at winning what the team still believed was a wide-open conference.
“I call it the five whys,” Atkinson said. “We got to look like why, why, why, why, why? You dive deeper into everything you’re doing.”
Their answer, they found, was to move on from Garland, whom they had drafted with the No. 5 pick in 2019 before watching him blossom into an All-Star, both before Mitchell arrived and then in tandem with his new backcourt mate. The two, along with bigs Jarrett Allen and Evan Mobley, were deemed the team’s “core four” as the future took shape in Cleveland.
Then a toe injury hampered Garland during the playoffs last season, and the injury lingered into this season.
Garland appeared in 26 games for the Cavs before the trade, and he has not played in a game since Jan. 14. Despite the regular-season success of the core four, including earning the No. 1 seed in the East last season, the Cavs have not advanced past the second round of the playoffs since the 2017-18 team, led by LeBron James, went to the NBA Finals.
Injuries have been a factor in the past, and the team has leaned on health as a way to excuse its disappointments in the past. But the Cavs didn’t want to leave that to chance this season.

Shams: Harden avoids surgery, plans to play through thumb fracture
Shams Charania joins “NBA Today” to report on James Harden’s right thumb fracture.
ENTER JAMES HARDEN, a player whose availability and toughness has become as much of his reputation as his passing ability and scoring proficiency. In the past three seasons, Harden has played in 202 games, 44 more than Garland.
“He plays. He didn’t miss games, he didn’t miss practices either,” said Milwaukee Bucks coach Doc Rivers, who coached Harden with the Philadelphia 76ers in 2022-23.
Harden’s addition has injected an elite pick-and-roll player into the Cavs’ offense. Per GeniusIQ, Harden’s teams have averaged 1.068 points per direct pick when he’s the ball handler in that span, while Garland is at 1.004 for his career.
“We’ve had at times some struggles with late-game offense and he’s been great at settling us down, getting us in the right spots and making plays out of that,” Merrill said. “He’s just always in control offensively.”
And it hasn’t taken long for Harden’s playmaking ability to have an impact on Cleveland’s bigs, especially Allen. In the eight games Allen has played alongside Harden, he has recorded a double-double in six of them. He also poured in 20 points in Sunday’s 106-102 win over the Brooklyn Nets. According to ESPN Research, Harden has assisted on 17 field goals to Allen, the fourth most of any passer-scorer combo in the NBA in that span.
“We’re good,” Harden said when accessing the team as a whole last week. “But we got a few more notches to get to.”
Allen’s ascension actually began a few days before Harden’s arrival — he averaged 22.3 points, 11.5 rebounds on 74% shooting in 11 games last month — but, just like the Cavs as a whole, Harden has only accelerated the benefits.
“The confidence is renewed,” Allen said. “When big changes happen like that, your view shifts. You have more confidence in yourself. … I’m just finding my rhythm. People pass me the ball, Kenny is drawing plays for me, things are just clicking.”
For the entire team too.
Despite losing to the Detroit Pistons last Friday without Mitchell and Harden, Mobley spoke confidently about how the Cavs could match up with them in the postseason.
“I feel like we’re one of the top teams,” Mobley said. “They’ve got to face us, honestly.”
What Harden represents is investment in the Cavs’ present as much as they hope it is for their future.
Mitchell, 29, has one guaranteed season left on a three-year, $150 million deal with a player option for the 2027-28 season.
“Collectively, we’re so unified,” Atkinson said. “Ownership, front office, star. It’s not always the case. You can be fractured there. ‘Hey, stay the course.’
“I forget what the exact point was like. We just kind of knew. … And then it was like, well, what’s on the table?”
What was on the table was an 11-time All-Star. And their investment in him has already begun to pay dividends.
Whether it continues to is the question the Cavs seek to answer.
“It’s always hard seeing the trade deadline come because it’s more than basketball for us,” Allen said last week. “It’s more than just trying to get to that tip top goal with the best players on the court. You want to do it with the people that you grew up and did it with. But at the same time adding players like that, it does add a little pressure because this is one of those make-or-break type of moves.”
TEL AVIV, Israel — The Purim holiday is usually marked with boisterous street parades and costume parties to celebrate the Jewish victory over an ancient Persian ruler. This year, the celebrations moved into fortified bomb shelters as the country wages war against Iran’s modern-day leaders.
In Tel Aviv on Monday, people of all ages wearing sequined suits, bunny ears, pirate costumes and peacock feathers streamed into a mall’s underground parking lot that also functions as a bomb shelter for the traditional reading of the Purim story followed by a live band with dancing.
“It’s all about choosing happiness, choosing to be joyful, no matter what else is going on,” said Mariel Margulis, a Tel Aviv resident who had set up a tent in the parking garage and lived there for the past few days with her husband and 6-month old son. They dressed up as people having a bath, complete with bath robes, and their son, Amichai, as a rubber ducky, and created a bathtub play area for him next to their tent.
The story of Purim, told in the Book of Esther, follows Haman, an adviser to King Ahashverosh, as he plans to exterminate the Jews of the kingdom. The plan is foiled by Queen Esther and her cousin Mordechai. The story takes place in Shushan, Persia, in what is modern-day Iran.
“It feels biblical in proportions, what’s happening right now, and we’re doing the little bit we can, staying calm, staying joyful,” said Mariel. Nearby, Amichai slept through the loud “boos” from the crowd to drown out the name of Haman, the villain of the story, during a reading from the Book of Esther.
“It’s like the same plot of Purim with a different cast,” said Daniel Margulis, Mariel’s husband.
Purim, a holiday beloved by both religious and secular Jews, takes place in most of the Jewish world starting on Monday night. The holiday starts a day later in ancient walled cities, including Jerusalem.
In quiet times, families in colorful costumes throng downtown stretches, children eat copious amounts of traditional triangle cookies. It’s customary to dress up in costumes and drink large amounts of alcohol.
In Jerusalem, musicians set up on balconies overlooking the main drag and street parties in the stone alleys stretch into the evening.
But celebrations were once again disrupted by war, after Israel and the U.S. launched an attack against Iran on Saturday
“We came because the kids didn’t want to miss out on Purim, they were really excited to get dressed up,” said Elysa Rapoport, a Tel Aviv resident who works in investments. Her daughters dressed up as Barbie Cowgirl and Rumi from K-pop Demon Hunters.
With most Purim celebrations canceled, the family planned their walk to the Purim event to hopscotch between easy access to shelters. Iranian missiles have sent Israelis scurrying for shelters multiple times a day and night.
“This just feels surreal,” Rapoport said, looking over the celebrations, as hundreds of people gathered and danced under the parking lot’s fluorescent lights. Nearby, people and their dogs who had moved into the shelter for the duration of the war lounged on air mattresses, scrolling through their phones.
“It’s not the most optimal conditions, we’re used to our synagogue, but we’re here together with all of the nation of Israel,” said Gabi Grinshtain, a 39-year-old environmental consultant. “These are important days, and the setting is less important.”

Did you miss Marshals last week? Here’s how you can still watch the latest episodes from a Yellowstone spinoff starring Luke Grimes as Kayce Dutton.
Marshals premiered on March 1 with Grimes’ character Kayce Dutton joining an elite team of U.S. Marshals.
Actor Brecken Merrill (Tate Dutton), Gil Birmingham (Thomas Rainwater) and Mo Brings Plenty (Mo) are three Yellowstone characters announced as cast members of Marshals.
Season 1 will be a shortened season. Season 2 has not yet been confirmed.
Immediately viewers learned why Monica Dutton (played by Kelsey Asbille) was not a part of pre-show promotion. The new series begins about one year after Kayce and his family moved to East Camp, a parcel of the former Dutton Ranch. That happened during the final episode of Yellowstone.

How To Watch Marshals?
Marshals is the first of Taylor Sheridan’s dramas to not air exclusively on a streaming service or cable channel. All new episodes will premiere on Sunday nights at 8PM ET on CBS.
After that, episodes will be available for streaming the next day (on Monday) on Paramount+. That’s pretty typical for CBS shows. Other CBS procedurals such as Tracker, Boston Blue and more live at that streamer.
While not announced, it would not be surprising for Marshals to air via re-run this spring or summer. That’s often the case with network television shows and producers surely want to get as many eyes as possible on this high-profile show.
What Will Happen To Marshals When Taylor Sheridan Leaves Paramount?
There is good news and bad news for fans of Taylor Sheridan’s shows.
He’s leaving Paramount at the end of 2028 but certainly not retiring. His new shows will go to NBC Universal, i.e. Peacock.
Old shows such as Marshals, Landman, Tulsa King and will remain on Paramount properties and could very well continue. Someone else would need to write and guide each existing series, but that’s less challenging with an existing show. By 2029, Marshals could very well be in Season 4 while Landman could be approaching Season 6.
17 Most Stunning Yellowstone Franchise Deaths
No character is safe in Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone universe. Here are the 17 most stunning deaths from 1883, 1923 and five seasons of Yellowstone.
Surging Eastern Conference teams will meet on Monday’s NBA schedule as the Boston Celtics visit the Milwaukee Bucks. Boston (40-20) is 11-2 over its last 13 games and is coming off a Sunday night win, 114-98, over Philadelphia. Milwaukee (26-33) is 8-4 over its last dozen contests but has dropped back-to-back games, most recently falling to Chicago 120-97. The Celtics lead the all-time series 122-113. Jaylen Brown (illness) is out for Boston, while Giannis Antetokounmpo (calf) is listed as questionable for Milwaukee after last playing on Jan. 23.
Tipoff is at 7:30 p.m. ET from the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee. Boston is a 2.5-point favorite in the latest Bucks vs. Celtics odds from DraftKings Sportsbook, while the over/under for total points scored is 215.5. Before making any Celtics vs. Bucks picks, check out the NBA predictions and betting advice from the SportsLine Projection Model.
The SportsLine Projection Model simulates every NBA game 10,000 times and has returned well over $10,000 in betting profit for $100 players on its top-rated NBA picks over the past eight-plus seasons. The model entered Week 19 on a sizzling 38-18 roll on top-rated NBA spread picks dating back to last season. Anyone following its NBA betting advice at sportsbooks and on betting apps could have seen huge returns.
SportsLine’s model has simulated Bucks vs. Celtics 10,000 times and is going Over on the total (215.5 points). Four of the last five matchups between these teams have gone over this total, and the Bucks have leaned over in recent contests this season. Milwaukee has eclipsed the O/U in three of its last four outings as its defense has struggled, as the team has allowed 120.4 points over its last five games overall.
The Over is 5-2 across Milwaukee’s last seven home games, while Boston brings one of the league’s most efficient offenses into Milwaukee, though the loss of Brown does hurt that. A total of 225 points are scored, per the simulations, with the Over clearing in 68% of simulations.
