The global fight over the Strait of Hormuz has triggered a familiar chorus claiming the United States had “no plan” for disruption to world energy markets.

But analysts argue that narrative ignores decades of contingency planning by the Pentagon and allied naval forces. The real vulnerability may lie elsewhere: the centuries-old insurance structure centered in Lloyd’s of London, which effectively determines which ships can sail and which routes remain commercially viable.

Control over maritime risk underwriting has quietly shaped global shipping for generations—making insurance power almost as decisive as military power.
