What happened

Well supportedReported by 8 independent outlets

Tensions escalated between the United States and Iran following military strikes and failed talks regarding the Strait of Hormuz oil passage. On October 15, a Singapore-registered ship was sunk in the Strait, causing oil futures for Brent crude and West Texas Intermediate to fall. Separately, the Trump administration announced it was allowing sanctioned oil tankers to begin transporting crude as part of an effort to reduce energy prices.
