Over a thousand ships, including oil tankers, bulk carriers and container ships, are blocked in the Strait of Hormuz. The Iranian navy has warned that any ship attempting to pass without authorization will be destroyed, while media reports reveal that the Tehran regime intends to require ships to pay a fee of one dollar per barrel of oil, or the equivalent in the cryptocurrency "Bitcoin", in the future.
The Strait of Hormuz, through which about 20% of the world's oil trade passes, remains a key strategic and economic point. Despite continued tensions even after the ceasefire between the US and Iran, the price of oil fell on international markets by about 15%.
According to the data, approximately 175 million barrels of crude oil and its by-products are currently loaded onto 187 tankers in
The Persian Gulf, which are waiting to start moving. They will pass through the control of the Revolutionary Guards and then towards the open sea after a payment that will be costly anyway.
