Iran is threatening to block the Strait of Hormuz after U.S. strikes. This vital waterway carries one-fifth of the world’s oil. Blocking it would push oil prices to record highs. Hardworking Americans will pay more at the pump.
The Strait of Hormuz is only 21 miles wide. Iran controls its northern side. This narrow passage sees 20 million barrels of oil daily. Saudi Arabia sends the most oil through it.
Oil prices could hit $130 per barrel if Iran blocks the strait. That’s a 30% jump from today. This shock would fuel inflation worldwide. Families and businesses would suffer.
Iran’s aggression shows their true nature. They use this vital chokepoint as a weapon. Their actions threaten global stability. Weak leadership invited this danger.
America must stand strong against Iranian threats. We need real energy independence now. Drilling more at home protects our economy. Relying on enemies for oil is foolish.
Higher oil prices mean higher costs for everything. Groceries, gas, and goods get more expensive. Inflation hurts working families most. Washington’s failed policies created this mess.
Patriots demand strong action to keep Hormuz open. Our Navy must defend freedom of navigation. America won’t be bullied by hostile regimes. We protect our interests with strength.
The American spirit will overcome this challenge. We’ll forge our own energy future. Common sense and resolve guide us. Our nation’s greatness shines brightest under pressure.
