A significant chunk of Europe’s LNG and oil needs are supplied through the Strait of Hormuz. If that gets chocked off for even a few weeks (as appears to be likely based on statements from Trump) then that puts pressure on stocks here in Europe very quickly.
It’s pretty clear to see why the UK, France and Germany are positioning themselves to get directly involved in this mess; they know how critical it is to their economic interests, and thus security, that those energy supplies remain consistent.

Iranian missile systems dream of achieving the speed of an Irish petrol station owner running out to their forecourt to bump up the price of fuel based on events and shipments thousands of kilometres and weeks of transit away. Soon you will hear the sonic boom of applegreen managers racing out to lump 10c on a litre overnight

The comments from UK. France, Germany tonight are very worrying about escalation. A good reminder of why we aren’t in a security agreement with them.

The greens on this sub must be rich . The rest of us have to suffer long commutes and thousands of euros in carbon taxes for what ? So trump can piss all over any agreement and our contribution is a drop in the ocean . Downvote away

I did something I normally don’t do and filled up the tank this evening at €1.75. Because I know when the markets open in the morning it’s going to hyper-inflate.
The Straits of Hormuz is a parking ground for tankers atm, even if this ends soon, it’s going to ratchet up fuel prices and potentially could be much worse if Iran mines up the straits or starts scuttling boats, as a middle finger to the US and the Gulf states.

I’d recommend stocking up as soon as possible.
