Gavin Grey: UK correspondent on energy bills going up as a result of the Iran war
Published 2 weeks, 5 days ago
Description
Over in the UK, household energy prices will rise by 13 percent a year in July, as soaring wholesale costs caused by the impact of the Iran war hit bills for the first time.
Energy costs have jumped as a result of Iran blocking the crucial Strait of Hormuz shipping route - where a fifth of the world's oil and gas is carried.
UK correspondent Gavin Grey says even if the Strait was unblocked tomorrow, this conflict would still leave a significant economic impact.
