The price of gas in Europe exceeded $650 due to the closure of the Strait of Hormuz

Gas prices on the stock exchange in European countries exceeded $650 per 1 thousand cubic meters.

This is indicated by data from the London ICE exchange.

This happened for the first time since February 2023.

Earlier, the IRGC threatened to destroy any vessel attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.

The Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs warned that the decision to stop shipping in the Strait of Hormuz could lead to a significant imbalance in the global oil and gas markets.

At the same time, Fox News journalist Jennifer Griffin claims that, according to the statement of the Central Command of the US Armed Forces (CENTCOM), the Strait of Hormuz is still open to civilian navigation.
