The conflict is now being fought through shipping lanes and energy markets rather than just airstrikes. The blockade aims to impact Iran's ability to maintain energy production, similar to how Gulf states have capped wells.

A top economic advisor, Kevin Hassett, did not address specific concerns regarding diesel fuel and fertilizer prices when questioned.
