The conflict begins in late February 2026, leading to a halt in most shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
U.S.-Iran war begins
Israel and the U.S. began their war with Iran, halting most shipping through the Strait of Hormuz.
Brazil's 30-day diesel subsidy of R$1 ($0.19) per liter aims to stabilize road freight costs as Brent crude breaks above $100 and the Strait of Hormuz disruption tightens global fuel supply. For logistics and procurement teams, the temporary tax cuts on gasoline, ethanol and blends offer near-term relief but create a planning window that ends October 9, just before the presidential vote.
US diesel set a record $6.05/gallon on Sept 11, 2026, up 63.5% year-over-year as the US-Iran war disrupts global fuel flows. For supply chain operators, that means rising per-mile freight costs, new delivery surcharges, and acute pressure on frequently restocked perishables like meat and produce.
The Strait of Hormuz, which once carried about 20% of global oil, has seen most shipping halted by the U.S.-Iran war. Brent's $101.21 settle and renewed attacks on Saudi Aramco infrastructure signal rising fuel and freight costs across global supply chains.
Oil above $100 and record diesel at $5.94 are driving freight, fuel, and logistics costs higher just as the Strait of Hormuz disruption removes about one-fifth of global oil supply. Supply chain and procurement teams face renewed cost pressure and route risk.
Diesel's $5.40/gal August average—46% above 2025—forces carriers and shippers to rework fuel surcharge and rate models. DOE projects only a shallow retreat to just under $5/gal by year-end, keeping pressure on line-haul and last-mile costs into Q4. Inventory tightness may also push refiners toward distillate output, adding volatility for procurement teams.
