What happened

Well supportedReported by 10 independent outlets

The Iran war has disrupted vital maritime choke points, leading to higher transport costs and potential GDP reduction globally. Freight costs for crude oil from the U.S. Gulf Coast to China reached as high as $80 million earlier this month. Consequently, Asian refiners have cut orders for U.S. crude oil by about 50% compared to September.
