Iran's Strait Attacks Continue
Despite nearly daily attacks targeting oil tankers in the Strait of Hormuz by drones and missile launches carried out by Iran, the momentum of oil exports has not significantly slowed down. Shipping companies and exporting countries have managed to adapt to the security threats. Ships continue to pass through the strait at an increasing rate, even though some vessels have been hit in recent months, indicating the limited impact of Iranian attacks on navigation and oil supplies. This is especially true as alternative routes and risk mitigation technologies are employed. It appears that Iran is using the strait as a means of pressure against the United States, but the recovery of oil exports and the reduced impact of attacks are constraining Tehran’s ability to seriously disrupt energy supplies.
