Middle East oil exports exceed pre-war levels despite tensions; IRGC downplays Hormuz flows

Middle East oil exports have surpassed pre-war levels despite ongoing tensions, according to data. An IRGC commander claims oil flows through the US-supervised route in Hormuz are 'negligible', suggesting a potential shift in export routes or a rhetorical attempt to downplay US influence. The resilience of exports despite tensions indicates market adaptation, but the IRGC statement introduces uncertainty about the actual reliance on the Strait of Hormuz.

Iran's Strait of Hormuz Leverage Wanes as Oil Exports Recover via Bypass Routes

Middle East oil exports have recovered to near pre-conflict levels, largely bypassing the Strait of Hormuz through alternative routes and US-backed security. This development significantly reduces Iran's leverage over global oil supply, though the long-term sustainability of these bypass routes and the extent of Iran's remaining influence are uncertain. Confidence in this assessment is Medium-High.
