What happened

Well supportedReported by 10 independent outlets

Following attacks on oil and natural gas tankers in the Strait of Hormuz, Donald Trump ordered military strikes against Iran on July 7, 2026, and the U.S. Treasury Department revoked Iran’s oil sales authorization. In response, Iran cut off shipping access in the Strait of Hormuz, which drove up oil prices. However, by September 3, 2026, oil transit through the Strait had returned to pre-war baseline levels, with approximately 15 million barrels of crude flowing daily.

The geopolitical conflict and control over the Strait of Hormuz directly influence global oil prices, which in turn drives the FED's inflation outlook and monetary policy decisions. The initial disruption to the Strait of Hormuz halted the flow of a significant portion of global oil supply.
