Iran has shuttered the Strait of Hormuz since Donald Trump launched his war against the Islamist regime in late February, choking off as much as one-fifth of the world’s crude supply. The president has spent those months casting the disruption as temporary, even as drivers were continuing to pay a national average of $4.26 per gallon as of Wednesday.
