The conflict led Iran to choke off the Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of global oil and gas exports pass, and attack Gulf energy infrastructure, causing worldwide shortages and price spikes. Factors like Iran potentially charging tolls, high insurance fees, damaged infrastructure requiring months to repair, and the need for stable cargo flow before markets stabilize will prolong elevated prices.
