Oil Flows Rise, but Iran Still Menaces Strait of Hormuz
Original: Oil Flows Are Up, but Iran Is Still Menacing the Strait of Hormuz https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/02/world/middleeast/ir
The New York Times reports that oil shipments through the Strait of Hormuz have increased, despite continued threats from Iran to disrupt traffic in the strategic waterway. The strait remains a critical chokepoint for global energy supplies, and Iranian attacks or intimidation there keep shippers and energy markets on edge even as flows recover.
Why now: Iran's continued threats to a chokepoint carrying a large share of the world's oil keep energy markets and geopolitics watchers attentive.
