China and Russia assert veto power to protect Iranian interests and constrain US unilateral action.

Increased oil price volatility and potential supply disruptions could raise energy costs for households. Higher shipping insurance premiums may increase consumer goods prices. Uncertainty about Strait of Hormuz security creates inflationary pressure.
Likely escalation of US-China tensions affecting trade negotiations. May prompt alternative shipping route investments and increased military presence in the region. Potential for new sanctions or counter-sanctions. Could influence OPEC+ production decisions and strategic petroleum reserve releases.
