What happened

Well supportedReported by 5 independent outlets

The closure of the Strait of Hormuz has severely disrupted global energy markets due to the Iran war and geopolitical tensions in the region. The closure removed an estimated 10 to 12 million barrels per day of crude oil from global supplies. This situation caused higher oil prices and spiked inflation in the United States.
