AI insight
AI-generatedThe US naval blockade and Iranian retaliation threats directly threaten Strait of Hormuz transit, through which ~20% of global oil and LNG passes. A closure or disruption would spike crude and gas prices, squeeze margins for Asian/European refiners and importers, and spike shipping insurance and freight rates. Impact is global but acute for Gulf producers and net importers. Commercial mechanism: supply_shortage + logistics disruption.
