Note
Iran’s parliament has voted to close the Strait of Hormuz, the vital shipping channel through which around 20% of the world’s daily oil flows.

The move, which could block $1 billion in oil shipments per day, is likely to send oil prices soaring.
Note
JPMorgan Chase has warned that oil prices could surge to $120-$130 per barrel in a worst-case scenario, specifically if the Strait of Hormuz is closed due to escalating tensions in the Middle East. This scenario is linked to a potential military conflict between Iran and Israel, which could disrupt global oil supply.
