Removing 30% of the supply of a very important, and completely irreplaceable for most of its uses, resource isn’t hysteria.
The point is it doesn’t take giant tankers going through the Strait of Hormuz to move this volume. It could be handled by tanker trucks going to Suez….
This has nothing to do with transport. Iranian drone strikes disabled a Qatari helium _production_ facility.
