“This is a serious warning,” Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said after firing on a U.S. warship. Now, the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world’s most vital oil chokepoints, has been shut.
A significant share of global energy passes through this narrow route and there’s growing concern the U.S. has no quick way to reopen it. Despite claims from President Trump that the U.S. doesn’t depend on the Strait, rising fuel prices and inflation suggest otherwise.
