The significance of Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz
The conflict between the U.S. and Israel with Iran has affected the Strait of Hormuz, critically important for global energy, causing a sharp rise in oil prices.
On Monday, the commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced the "closure" of the strait, emphasizing that any vessel attempting to pass through it would be "set on fire".
On Tuesday, oil prices are rising for the third consecutive day, with Brent crude futures approaching $80 per barrel. There are concerns that the price could reach $100 in the coming days if the conflict continues.
The Strait of Hormuz connects Iran and Oman and is one of the key routes for global oil supplies, through which about 20% of all shipments pass.
Any disruptions in this area could lead to even higher oil prices and raise concerns about further escalation of the conflict.
According to U.S. data, most of the oil transported through Hormuz is headed for Asia, where China, India, Japan, and South Korea account for nearly 70% of all supplies.
In addition to oil, there is a shortage of aviation fuel and liquefied natural gas supplies.
About 30% of aviation fuel supplies to Europe pass through this strait, while one-fifth of the world's liquefied natural gas also depends on this waterway.
