Oil Surges 4% Above $104 as Gulf Shipping Attacks Escalate
Al Jazeera AR·IR · AE · SA·3 days ago
President Trump cited 28 million barrels of oil transiting the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, a figure that, if accurate, indicates continued robust flow despite regional tensions. The claim is unverified and may serve to reassure markets amid ongoing shipping risks. The volume is plausible given historical throughput, but the source is a political statement rather than an independent tally.
