Strait of Hormuz closure pushes oil above $80 and gas to a 3-year high as Iran attacks snarl shipping

Brent crude climbed more than $3 on Tuesday, pushing its three-day rally further as the U.S.-Israeli conflict with Iran ramped up and new threats to shipping in the Strait of Hormuz stoked concerns over potential supply hits. As of 0745 GMT, Brent was trading at $80.89 a barrel; U.S. West Texas Intermediate stood at $73.78, according to Reuters. The Strait of Hormuz—wedged between Iran and Oman—handles roughly a fifth of the world’s oil flows, plus hefty gas shipments.
