Connection thesis
Iran Strait of Hormuz closure is creating cascading energy cost inflation across consumer goods (gas, jet fuel, food transport). Chicago gas at $6.30/gallon and tomato/grocery record prices are downstream effects of supply shock. Trump's impatience signals potential escalation, which would deepen the constraint.
