Sen. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) has warned that ongoing U.S. military actions in Iran are driving up fuel costs, impacting transportation, food, and shipping nationwide. She shared a video explaining the impact on the Strait of Hormuz, a critical shipping lane for global oil supplies. She noted that companies would require a military escort to navigate the area, which has not been provided. The conflict has already cost over $11 billion in its first week and has led to increased gas prices.
