Escalating conflict involving Iran is disrupting global energy flows, pushing oil prices sharply higher and threatening economies that depend heavily on imports of crude, LNG, and other commodities. The Strait of Hormuz, a critical chokepoint for about 20 % of global oil and LNG shipments, has seen reduced traffic and rising war‑risk premiums, driving costs up and straining supply chains. Asian importers like India, Japan, and South Korea face mounting inflation and higher fuel bills as crude surges and shipping costs rise.
