- Rising fuel prices across countries
- Shortage of petroleum products
- Increased pressure on global energy markets
Major energy companies have warned of a possible energy crisis, especially in countries heavily dependent on oil imports.
Risk of Inflation and Shortages
Beyond fuel, the crisis could lead to:
- Shortage of essential goods
- Increase in transportation costs
- Rising inflation globally
Experts warn that prolonged disruption could significantly affect everyday life and economic stability.
Impact on Employment and Economy
The effects of the Strait of Hormuz closure due to Iran-US-Israel war are already visible in some regions.
- In the United Kingdom, over 100,000 job losses are feared
- Unemployment rate could rise from 5.2% to 5.5%
This highlights how the crisis is spreading beyond the Middle East into global economies.
A New Global Economic Front
