Rising tensions around the Strait of Hormuz have sparked concerns over the economic impact of a potential shutdown. Analysts warn that any move to block the strait would likely harm Iran more than its rivals.

According to recent estimates, Iran could lose around $435 million per day due to disrupted oil exports and trade flows. Rather than acting as a strategic advantage, such a move may deepen existing economic pressures and strain key sectors.

Experts suggest that closing one of the world’s most critical energy routes would not only shake global markets but also quickly rebound on Iran’s own economy, making it a high-risk decision.
