Gulf Nations Navigate Oil Supply Chains Amid Iran Conflict

When Iran shut down the Strait of Hormuz at the start of the war, many feared that oil prices would skyrocket and throttle the global economy. The strait is a critical waterway for oil shipments, with around 15 million barrels passing through it each day.

Despite these concerns, Gulf nations have found ways to keep oil flowing through the Iran conflict. However, the costs of this effort are mounting.

The shutdown of the Strait of Hormuz sent shockwaves through the global economy, but the impact has been mitigated by increased production in other regions and alternative shipping routes.
