A U.S. source reportedly claimed that over 10 million barrels of oil are being transported daily through the Strait of Hormuz, with an additional 5 million barrels moving through alternative routes. The claim has not been independently verified.
An American source claimed that daily oil transit through the Strait of Hormuz has exceeded 10 million barrels, with an additional 5 million barrels transported via alternative routes. The claim, reported by the source tracking Iranian news, has not been independently verified. The source did not specify the timeframe or the nature of the alternative routes.
The Zioneer has extensively covered the flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz amid the U.S. naval blockade and Iranian opposition. Previous reports include: President Trump stating that over 100 million barrels crossed in a covert operation (June 11); CENTCOM reporting 55 commercial ships transiting the strait on June 20; Trump touting a record 19 million barrels in a single day (June 23); and tracking firms like TankerTrackers and Bloomberg reporting large volumes of Iranian crude exports since mid-June. These reports, while varying in specifics, collectively indicate a sustained high volume of oil traffic despite tensions.
The latest claim from a U.S. source adds a daily figure exceeding 10 million barrels, which would be consistent with the high end of prior estimates. However, the lack of independent verification and the single-source nature of the report warrant caution.
