Why it matters

The operational status of the Strait of Hormuz is critical for global energy security, as roughly one-fifth of globally traded oil passes through this narrow waterway.

The gradual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz allows for increased global supply, which analysts suggest could eventually add between two and three million barrels per day to the global market.

What we don't know yet

  • What are the specific conditions under which the production and sales of Iranian oil were authorized?
  • How will the continued diplomatic engagements affect the long-term operational status of the Strait of Hormuz?
