Every Chokepoint That Isn't Hormuz

Source Summary

Oil logistics discussions have focused heavily on the Strait of Hormuz, which has been effectively closed since late February following the outbreak of war between Iran, the U.S., and Israel. The EIA reported that only 4.9 million barrels a day of crude and liquids passed through the strait in the second quarter, compared to 21.6 million in the last quarter of 2025. Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf stated in June that management of the strait will not return to its previous state.
