A recent study warns that a prolonged closure of the Strait of Hormuz could trigger severe fuel shortages across Europe, with the most acute effects expected in aviation, logistics, tourism, and agriculture.

The analysis highlights that the blockage would disrupt the flow of oil and gas, leading to cascading shortages in key sectors that rely heavily on petroleum products. It specifically cites aviation, logistics, tourism, and agriculture as the most vulnerable.

The report underscores the strategic importance of the Hormuz Strait for global energy supplies and the potential ripple effects on European economies if the waterway remains inaccessible for an extended period.
