Before then, the waterway was open to international traffic, and around a fifth of the world\u2019s oil and gas passed through it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>The closure of the strait has caused the price of fuel and other goods to soar, with the effects felt far beyond the Middle East.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Iran has said it lets some commercial vessels pass \u2014 about two dozen daily in recent days, compared with more than 100 a day before the war.
