"Tehran has disrupted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz a narrow waterway through which a fifth of all global oil flows. It has also launched a series of counterstrikes across the Gulf, against oil and gas facilities."
"Any further disruption to that flow would cripple the world's largest importing economies from East Asia to Europe. Oil and gas prices are climbing. That means higher fuel costs for cars, power plants and industry rippling through the global economy."
Escalating conflict between the US, Israel, and Iran is disrupting Middle East energy supplies. Iran retaliates by targeting energy infrastructure, including disrupting shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, which handles one-fifth of global oil flows, and launching counterstrikes against oil and gas facilities. These disruptions threaten major importing economies across East Asia and Europe. Rising oil and gas prices increase fuel costs for vehicles, power plants, and industrial operations, creating ripple effects throughout the global economy.
