Category: WARS & RUMORS OF WARS
Summary:
Crude oil and gasoline prices are expected to rise as tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz drastically slows following attacks on at least two oil tankers and a port in Oman. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) declared the Strait of Hormuz "effectively closed" due to unsafe conditions stemming from what it described as U.S. and Israeli military aggression and Iran's responses. The strait, which is a critical route for over 20 percent of the world’s oil exports from the Persian Gulf, has seen ships avoiding transit by stacking in the Arabian Sea. These developments have raised concerns about the security and passage safety through the narrow 100-mile waterway.

Crude oil and gasoline prices are expected to spike when trading resumes Monday as Strait of Hormuz tanker traffic slows to a trickle amid warnings from the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) that the vital waterway, where more than 20 percent of the world’s oil is exported from the Persian Gulf, is “effectively closed.” “Due to the insecure conditions around the strait resulting from the U.S. and Israeli military aggression and Iran’s responses, passage through the strait is currently unsafe,” the IRGC said in a Feb. 28 statement. As of 1 p.m. ET on Sunday—9:30 p.m. in Iran—at least two oil tankers and a port in Oman have been attacked, prompting ships to stack in the Arabian Sea rather than risk transiting the narrow 100-mile waterway and entering the Persian Gulf.......
