Iran Shuts Strait of Hormuz — Oil Prices and Indian Economy Brace for Impact
Yahoo! Finance·Saturday, 20 June 2026
Iran closed the Strait of Hormuz after the stock market rose last week on an interim deal, according to Investor's Business Daily via Yahoo Finance. The Strait is one of the world's most critical oil shipping routes. This comes as US-Iran nuclear talks appear to be stalling.
Why It Matters
India imports a massive share of its oil through the Persian Gulf. A closed Strait of Hormuz directly threatens India's energy supply and could spike fuel prices at the pump.
