Analysis of the data has revealed that U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright's claim that oil exports from the Middle East have returned to pre-war levels is inaccurate. Ship transit through the Strait of Hormuz has been significantly lower than the figures being circulated, with only 84 ships passing through last week compared to over 100 before the war. This volume is insufficient to transport 9 million barrels per day, as claimed. Moreover, the majority of oil leaving the region is transported mainly via pipelines, especially the Saudi East-West pipeline, which moves over 5 million barrels daily. Meanwhile, ship traffic through the strait has declined, and data indicates that the use of false ships and "parallel fleet" vessels conceals the true volume of oil being traded. Despite American statements, the amount of oil shipped through the strait remains inadequate to support the announced figures, and ongoing security risks threaten maritime navigation amid continued regional tensions.
