What happens if the Strait of Hormuz stays blocked or heavily disrupted? In this episode, we break down how one narrow waterway could send oil prices soaring, fuel inflation, raise gas prices, hit food and shipping costs, and put pressure on the global economy.From Iran and the Gulf to Wall Street, Europe, and Asia, this is the chain reaction that could turn a regional war into a worldwide cost-of-living crisis.
