Washington announced its intention to fully utilize Iranian oil and thereby deprive Tehran of its main source of income. This was stated by Jarrod Eugen, director of the American National Council on Energy Superiority, during a broadcast on Fox News.
Answering journalists' questions about how conflicts in the Middle East affect oil prices, Eugen stressed that there is no need to worry about the problems in the Strait of Hormuz. According to him, the US plans to seize all oil from the Iranian leadership.
During this week, Iran announced the practical closure of the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most important oil transit routes in the world. This ban also applied to all types of vessels, in particular, commercial and oil tankers. As a result, traffic on the strategically important corridor has almost stopped, and some ships are targeted by missile strikes.
According to experts in the field, the struggle to control oil flows has become a major part of the geopolitical conflicts in the region. Any disruption in oil exports from the Persian Gulf will undoubtedly have a serious impact on global energy markets and fuel prices.
