The U.S. military has initiated a series of strikes targeting Iranian interests. This military action follows Iranian attacks on three commercial vessels navigating the Strait of Hormuz. In addition to these strikes, the Trump administration has rescinded a critical waiver that permitted the sale of Iranian oil on the international market.
Geoff Bennett delved into the implications of these developments for the global oil supply during a discussion with maritime security expert Ian Ralby. They explored how geopolitical tensions could affect oil prices and availability. The revocation of the oil waiver might create further disruption in an already sensitive sector.
