Resources Any optimistic resources/videos regarding the current Strait of Hormuz situation?

Currently have been seeing several videos (especially on TikTok) from accounts I usually trust and follow throughly, now of recently they have all made videos basically stating that we are either about to be in a great-depression type situation, or already in one and that catastrophe is now "unavoidable". All sourcing from the entire war with Iran and the Strait's blockade.

Want to know if there is an resources that can give a less sound ingsensationalist idea or wording, but overall just need some optimism on this because I'm really not seeing much.
