Crude exports from the Persian Gulf are almost back to pre-war levels thanks to a shuttle of tankers that hug the coast of Oman under the protection of the U.S. Navy and Air Force. More than a hundred tankers are already making the round trip. And yet oil is still expensive. Each convoy trip costs around $58 million, China is buying again, and refined products are scarce: the Gulf is exporting half its usual volume, Russia has gone from seller to buyer and China has restricted its fuel exports. Meanwhile, the reserves that kept prices in check are running low. U.S. strategic reserves are at their lowest level since 1982. And Iran, unable to sell a single barrel and with its economy in free fall, is cornered. With the U.S. midterms, Israel's election on 27 October and a third American aircraft carrier on its way, Tehran may see a window to strike. In this video we answer three questions: will Iran escalate, where could it strike, and what would happen to oil prices? 🔐 Learn about finance with us in a simple, free, and straight-to-the-point way: https://www.visualfaktory.com/free-gift/ Join the VisualPolitik community and support us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/VisualPolitik
