Iranian security chief Mohsen Rezaee warned that no oil would pass through the Strait of Hormuz or the Persian Gulf if the economic war continued, while tankers continued to transit the waterway, including along an Omani coastal route established by the U.S. military. Energy Secretary Chris Wright said more than 15 million barrels of crude and oil products moved through the strait on Tuesday and put the seven-day average at more than 8 million barrels a day, down from about 9 million earlier in the month. Commercial ship trackers, however, estimated flows at roughly 2 million to 6 million barrels a day, and industry loading and delivery data did not corroborate the U.S. figures. The discrepancy reflects ships disabling transponders, the impact of missing even one large tanker, different measurement periods and assumptions about cargo volumes. Kpler analysts said Iran had partially lost control of the strait, but the continuing supply deficit is forcing countries to draw down reserves. The flow of oil has delayed a severe market shock while potentially prolonging the war and leaving the risk of a sharper disruption unresolved.
