Consumers face higher gasoline prices, increased transportation costs, and potential inflation across goods and services. Supply chain disruptions may lead to product shortages and price increases for imported goods.
Governments may implement strategic petroleum reserve releases, negotiate alternative energy sources, impose sanctions, increase military spending, and pursue diplomatic interventions to restore Strait of Hormuz access and stabilize energy markets.
