started August 22, 2026 at 11:59 AM · last changed 5d ago

Summary

Oil companies from the Middle East have begun disabling tanker transponders, transiting the Hormuz Strait at night under U.S. naval escort, and transferring cargo to other ships in the Gulf of Oman. The U.S. Department of Energy reports the strategy is working, enabling flows of 8-9 million barrels daily, while producers from Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Qatar and the UAE reroute additional supplies through alternative routes to avoid Iranian drone strikes.
