## Resource

Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz are escalating as Iran asserts control and attacks ships, prompting U.S. strikes and a renewed blockade — now including a 20% toll for passage. Fuel prices are already feeling the ripple effects, with Alaska poised to see the impact soon despite recent downward trends in oil and gas prices. Markets shrugged off initial conflict, surprising analysts, while Senator Dan Sullivan’s office pushes federal and state solutions to ease supply crunches. Ironically, higher fuel prices could benefit Alaska’s budget, fueling debate over property tax exemptions and a proposed LNG pipeline — seen as strategically vital amid global energy volatility, though lawmakers remain wary about developer contributions.
