Iran has increased its oil exports despite tensions in the region, leveraging its control over the Strait of Hormuz to allow its own crude shipments to pass through while deterring other vessels. This strategic move has enabled Tehran to maintain and even expand its oil trade, capitalizing on the critical chokepoint that handles a significant portion of the world’s oil supply. By asserting dominance over the strait, Iran continues to navigate the challenges posed by geopolitical conflicts, ensuring its crude reaches global markets more efficiently than before.
