The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow sea route. Many ships use it to carry oil and gas. Now there is a big problem.
The United States and Iran are fighting. Iran says the strait is closed. The US military attacked Iranian targets. The BBC says tanker traffic is almost stopped.
Oil prices are going up. This route is very important for the world. Many countries need the oil and gas that passes through here. The problem can make fuel cost more for people far from the sea. People hope it will end soon.
