The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for ~20% of global oil and LNG shipments. Military escalation risks supply disruption, spiking oil and gas prices. Impact is global but especially severe for Asian and European importers reliant on Gulf crude/LNG. Iran's blockade and retaliation threaten UAE ports, adding regional instability. Commercial mechanism: supply_shortage via transit disruption, logistics insurance/freight spikes.
