In return, the U.S. would lift its naval blockade, unfreeze Iranian assets, and end sanctions on its oil exports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThey want to make a deal and I think that\u2019s fine,\u201d Trump told reporters outside the White House on Saturday, saying Iran is \u201closing so badly.\u201d \u201cI\u2019d like to make a deal, too. But that deal would not be acceptable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, he has privately told aides that he expects to resume bombing Iran after the midterm elections when high gas prices will be less of a political consideration, according to the <em>Wall Street Journal<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Such bravado comes as U.S. officials believe time is now on their side and no longer on Iran\u2019s side. The U.S. naval blockade is crushing Iran\u2019s economy, and new financial sanctions are tightening the screws even more. At the same time, oil markets have been much more resilient than expected.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While crude prices remain high, with refined fuels facing a bigger shock, markets have yet to see catastrophic extremes, even as the Iran war and the strait\u2019s closure approach their eighth month.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s because the strait is only partially closed with more oil getting out in recent weeks under the protection of the U.S. military. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Wednesday, Tanker Trackers estimated that the total amount of crude oil exiting the U.S. blockade line is now 13 million barrels per day. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe numbers have doubled in less than a month,\u201d it said in a post on X. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s partly due to Saudi Arabia shifting its oil shipments back through the Persian Gulf, Tanker Trackers added, after previously diverting them via the East-West Pipeline for export from Red Sea ports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But attacks by Iran-backed Houthi and Iraqi fighters on Saudi oil infrastructure prompted Riyadh to hold off on using that bypass. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tanker Trackers also attributed the recent surge in oil coming out of the Persian Gulf to daytime transits via the Strait of Hormuz with U.S. Central Command\u2019s help.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<div class=\"block w-full\"><img alt=\"\" data-cy=\"article-image\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"transition-opacity duration-300 lazyload wp-image-4590595 not-prose w-full h-full object-cover\" style=\"color:transparent;background-size:cover;background-position:50% 50%;background-repeat:no-repeat;background-image:url(&quot;data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,%3Csvg xmlns='http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg' viewBox='0 0 1024 683'%3E%3Cfilter id='b' color-interpolation-filters='sRGB'%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3CfeColorMatrix values='1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 100 -1' result='s'\/%3E%3CfeFlood x='0' y='0' width='100%25' height='100%25'\/%3E%3CfeComposite operator='out' in='s'\/%3E%3CfeComposite in2='SourceGraphic'\/%3E%3CfeGaussianBlur stdDeviation='20'\/%3E%3C\/filter%3E%3Cimage width='100%25' height='100%25' x='0' y='0' preserveAspectRatio='none' style='filter: url(%23b);' href='data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABCAQAAAC1HAwCAAAAC0lEQVR4nGNgYAAAAAMAASsJTYQAAAAASUVORK5CYII='\/%3E%3C\/svg%3E&quot;)\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 320px) 50vw, (max-width: 768px) 85vw, (max-width: 1024px) 50vw, (max-width: 1200px) 40vw, 33vw\" srcset=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/9959724-e1790447076213.jpg?format=webp&amp;w=128&amp;quality=75 128w, https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/9959724-e1790447076213.jpg?format=webp&amp;w=256&amp;quality=75 256w, https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/9959724-e1790447076213.jpg?format=webp&amp;w=320&amp;quality=75 320w, https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/9959724-e1790447076213.jpg?format=webp&amp;w=384&amp;quality=75 384w, https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/9959724-e1790447076213.jpg?format=webp&amp;w=480&amp;quality=75 480w, https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/9959724-e1790447076213.jpg?format=webp&amp;w=576&amp;quality=75 576w, https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/9959724-e1790447076213.jpg?format=webp&amp;w=768&amp;quality=75 768w, https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/9959724-e1790447076213.jpg?format=webp&amp;w=1024&amp;quality=75 1024w, https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/9959724-e1790447076213.jpg?format=webp&amp;w=1280&amp;quality=75 1280w, https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/9959724-e1790447076213.jpg?format=webp&amp;w=1440&amp;quality=75 1440w\" src=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/img-assets\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/9959724-e1790447076213.jpg?format=webp&amp;w=1440&amp;quality=75\"\/><\/div><figcaption>U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon aircraft fly in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility Sept. 16, 2026. <\/figcaption><p>U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Tiffany A. Emery<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Similarly, oil expert Rory Johnston estimated that about 13.5 million barrels a day are now clearing the strait, based on the latest seven-day average.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That\u2019s still well below prewar levels, forcing global reserves to drop further toward critical lows, but it\u2019s about the same as the brief peak in July, when a U.S.-Iran ceasefire allowed traffic to rebound.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The respite quickly fell apart, and attacks on shipping resumed. The U.S. military continued guiding ships through the contested waterway, but those operations took place at night to lessen the odds of being targeted by Iranian missiles and drones.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The nighttime restriction limited how many ships could get through each day. Then the U.S. military conducted a series of airstrikes that degraded Iran\u2019s ability to detect commercial vessels attempting sneak out. The Navy also cleared mines from the strait\u2019s main corridor.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With the Iranian threat against ships now waning, a U.S. official told Axios earlier this month that the military and Gulf countries began conducting daytime transits of tankers through the strait. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To be sure, it\u2019s expensive to move oil through the strait amid the ongoing threat of Iranian attacks. Shipping companies must pay crews more to take on the added risk, while insurance coverage also is costlier. <\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI continue to stress that while a lot of oil is getting out of Hormuz the cost of getting those barrels out is <em>very<\/em> high ($30-40+\/bbl, excluding the cost of the US military),\u201d Johnston pointed out. \u201cThat doesn\u2019t work if global prices fall (or Gulf exporters try to press their prices higher)\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>#helps #double #oil #volume #exiting #Gulf #military #guiding #ships #broad #daylight<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Donald Trump signale&hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5404,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[8487,8488,4478,7028,8486,3863,1028,456,452,717,3166,8485],"class_list":["post-5403","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-finance-news","tag-broad","tag-daylight","tag-double","tag-exiting","tag-guiding","tag-gulf","tag-helps","tag-iran","tag-military","tag-oil","tag-ships","tag-volume"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
