What happened

Well supportedReported by 17 independent outlets

Disruptions in shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, following a US-Israeli war on Iran, have caused global oil supply buffers to deplete by nearly 1 billion barrels since the conflict began. As a result of these wartime supply disruptions, diesel prices have reached record highs in many markets, and the Indian Oil Corporation raised fuel prices in Delhi. The cost of shipping and logistics has risen to 30 percent of a barrel's cost.
