The Strait of Hormuz is functioning at pre-war levels.
What happened
Iran's strategy to choke the Strait of Hormuz and increase oil prices has failed. Crude exports from the Persian Gulf are back to pre-war levels, with 98% of pre-war volumes. Iran's oil exports, however, have halted.
Why it matters
The situation has changed in the region, with oil flowing at pre-war levels and Iran isolated and broke. This outcome is significant because it may indicate a shift in the balance of power in the region. The implications of this development are still uncertain.
Key facts
- Crude exports from the Persian Gulf are back at pre-war levels.
- Iran's oil exports have stopped.
- The Strait of Hormuz is functioning as it did before the war.
- Brent crude has decreased in price.
- Iran is now blocked from exporting oil by the US naval blockade.
