Gulf states bypass Strait of Hormuz, Iran's oil exports near zero amid U.S. blockade

Persian Gulf Arab states have increased oil tanker transits via alternative routes, restoring exports to pre-war levels, while a continued U.S. naval blockade keeps Iran's exports near zero. This suggests Iran's leverage over the Strait of Hormuz has eroded, shifting regional energy dynamics. The claim is based on a single source and lacks independent verification.

The economic impact on Iran is severe, but the regime's stability remains uncertain.
