By the Numbers
The oil traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has dramatically decreased after the attacks on Iranian oil tankers. Only 5 ships passed through the strait on Saturday, and no passage was recorded on Sunday. This situation is increasing concerns over oil prices and global energy supply.
The increase in tension between Iran and the US, and the stagnation of negotiations, may affect the global energy markets. The Strait of Hormuz is considered a critical transit point, carrying a significant portion of the world's oil and natural gas trade.
The decrease in traffic may lead to an increase in oil and natural gas prices and disruptions in global energy supply.
