En las primeras horas del jueves, Irán cerró el Estrecho de Ormuz a todo tráfico marítimo, convirtiendo una de las arterias energéticas más vitales del mundo en zona de conflicto activo. La decisión llega como respuesta a una cadena de ataques y represalias entre Teherán y Washington que se ha ido apretando durante días, recordándonos que los grandes conflictos geopolíticos rara vez estallan de golpe, sino que se construyen golpe a golpe. Lo que estaba confinado a una disputa regional amenaza ahora con alterar el flujo de energía que sostiene economías enteras.

Consumers face potential sharp increases in gasoline, heating oil, and electricity prices. Supply chain disruptions will raise costs for imported goods, increasing inflation. Households dependent on oil-intensive industries face employment uncertainty.
Governments may implement strategic petroleum reserve releases, negotiate alternative shipping routes, impose sanctions on Iran, or increase military presence in the region. Central banks may adjust monetary policy in response to inflation pressures. Trade agreements may be renegotiated to account for supply chain risks.
