What happened

Well supportedReported by 24 independent outlets

Attacks on shipping corridors and production shut-ins in the Middle East have raised concerns over severe global crude shortages. The closure of the Strait of Hormuz and attacks on energy infrastructure have drained global oil inventories by over 500 million barrels since February. The International Energy Agency projects a third-quarter global deficit of 1.8 million barrels per day, while another report forecasted a 5.7 million barrels per day drop in 2026.
