A 60 Minutes segment on Sunday, March 15, lifted the lid on how Donald Trump‘s war in Iran will continue to affect Americans with rising costs. The program specifically referenced Iran’s blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, the only passageway that connects countries in the Persian Gulf, which hold a fifth of the world’s oil, to the rest of the world.

Bob McNally, who previously worked as an energy adviser for President George W. Bush, spoke to Cecilia Vega about how this closure will impact Americans, referring to the Strait of Hormuz as the “mother of all choke points.” As he explained it, “Imagine your heart has one artery taking that lifeblood to the rest of your body. And that is what the Strait of Hormuz is.”
