Middle East oil exports recover to pre-war levels despite tensions

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 5 Oct, 06:54 · Archive

Middle East crude exports have returned to pre-war levels despite regional tensions and attacks on shipping routes.

Middle East crude exports have returned to pre-war levels in September despite ongoing tensions in the region and attacks on shipping routes. Producers have increasingly relied on alternative routes and ship-to-ship transfers to bypass the Hormuz Strait and maintain export flows.

Iranian exports, however, remain below pre-war average levels. An Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps commander stated that oil flows through the US-supervised route in the Hormuz Strait are 'negligible', though the outlets do not elaborate on the accuracy of this claim or provide independent verification of export figures.
