AI-generatedIran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz creates a supply shortage for crude oil, directly impacting global oil prices and US gasoline prices. The channel is supply_shortage via a critical chokepoint. Refiners face higher input costs, airlines face higher jet fuel costs (margin squeeze), and consumers face higher fuel and airfare costs. Impact is global but acutely felt in US (gasoline) and Middle East supply routes.
