The near-total shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz has driven U.S. gasoline prices up $1.00 in weeks, threatening global oil supply chains. With only 8 tanker crossings recorded on July 17 vs. 130+ pre-war, logistics managers face soaring fuel surcharges, war-risk insurance spikes, and potential inventory shortages.

The threat to close Bab el-Mandeb, combined with an already shut Hormuz, could choke off all Middle East oil exports, sparking a logistics nightmare. Shipping routes, insurance costs, and global trade flows face unprecedented disruption.
The collapse of the US-Iran ceasefire and renewed strikes on commercial vessels in the Strait of Hormuz are sending oil prices sharply higher, with Brent crude up 5.7% to $78.41. For supply chain managers, this means escalating fuel costs, heightened war risk premiums on maritime insurance, and potential rerouting away from a chokepoint that handles 20% of global oil trade. The Treasury's withdrawal of Iran's oil sale waiver further tightens supply, amplifying procurement and logistics risks.

The Nigerian advisory is a direct consequence of a supply-chain nightmare: IRGC control over the Strait of Hormuz threatens to block oil tankers carrying 20% of global crude. For Nigerian expatriates and the nation’s own crude exports, the disruption could upend logistics, shrink remittances, and force costly rerouting.
Iran is reportedly utilizing sophisticated GPS spoofing to manipulate maritime and aviation traffic in the Strait of Hormuz. This electronic warfare tactic creates 'ghost' vessels and navigation chaos, significantly increasing risks for global energy and freight logistics.
