Summary
Iran’s war strategy is shifting from the battlefield to the global economy, targeting energy chokepoints, shipping lanes, and critical infrastructure. Disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz are already driving higher oil prices, supply chain delays, and rising costs across industries from airlines to agriculture. As global trade routes reroute and energy markets tighten, the economic fallout is spreading faster than the military conflict itself.
