As the naval blockade and airstrikes fail to force open the Strait of Hormuz, Iran’s economy is hit as crude, petrochemicals and non-oil exports stall, alongside vital imports of food and industrial supplies. Nearly a fifth of pre-war global oil and gas once passed through Hormuz; today that flow is a trickle. A proposed Iran–Oman maritime route offers limited relief, leaving markets anxious and Iran under sustained pressure. Al Jazeera's Um-e-Kulsoom Shariff explains. Subscribe to our cha

Many children are forced to take on odd jobs — shining shoes, selling water or working as bus conductors — to survive, while aid organisations warn they face exploitation, hunger and ab

Frankfurt gained 15,000 financial jobs from London, while German MEP David McAllister warned that losing the UK meant losing one of the bloc's three largest economies and a key security partner. Rejoining would require the UK to meet strict criteria, potentially including adopting the euro. Al Jazeera's Dominic Kan
