A news report examines the global consequences of Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz following a conflict with the United States and Israel. The strait, a critical chokepoint carrying roughly 20 per cent of global seaborne oil trade, was shut down in March 2026 after Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei was killed and his successor, Mojtaba Khamenei threatened to continue the blockade. The closure caused soaring oil prices, with crude surging from around 60-70 dollars per barrel to approximately 109 dollars. India faced severe commercial LPG shortages, forcing restaurants and street vendors to shut down or resort to coal and wood-fired cooking.
