NEWS Seahawks Sink Houthi Boats

90% of Iran's oil exports leave from Kharg Island, well north of the SoH. Closing it, or otherwise significantly limiting/slowing transit doesn't help them much.

That is true, but meant for the question to be more focused on the end customers and who would be hit the hardest as the globe scrambled for crude to fuel their economies.

If I'm not mistaken, China is the single largest buyer or Iranian oil. Sanctions have meant all but a dozen or two states are customers. Slowing (or temporarily stopping) flow through the SoH would obviously affect other exporters, and would push the price at the pump way up, but it's not a free play for them (Iran). They'll suffer for it as well, if not more than others. I'm NOT suggesting they wouldn't do it, but it wouldn't necessarily be in their interest unless they were looking to buy time and a modicum of leverage to get back to the negotiating table - which also will probably not go well for them.
