Iran closes Strait of Hormuz: Europe fears kerosene shortage
Since a fragile ceasefire between Iran and the United States began this Friday, maritime traffic remains blocked in the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic passage through which significant global oil transits.
Iran is considering imposing a toll to consolidate its dominance over this waterway. European airports warn that a systemic kerosene shortage will become reality if the strait is not reopened within three weeks.
Tehran thus strengthens its negotiating leverage against the United States, according to analysts. The cost of aviation fuel and petroleum products would increase, directly impacting European consumers.
