Summary
The American naval blockade reimposed in July has significantly reduced Iranian crude oil exports, with no Iranian crude leaving by sea in September. The blockade has allowed Gulf producers to maintain high export levels, with 60% of Gulf crude crossing the Strait of Hormuz, 23% loading on the Gulf of Oman coast, and 17% leaving through the Red Sea. Iran's offer to reopen the strait within 7 days was rejected by the President, who cited the need to maintain pressure on Iran.
