💨 Abstract

The UK could face fuel rationing if the US-Israel conflict with Iran escalates, experts warn. Iran's closure of the Strait of Hormuz has led to a surge in oil prices, causing petrol station closures and potential shortages. While the UK has reserves and refineries, panic buying could exacerbate the issue. Natural gas supplies are also affected, but the UK is less dependent on Middle Eastern sources.
