Oil has started flowing again from the Persian Gulf through the strategic Strait of Hormuz, but mainly from Iran and with the main destination being China.
According to data from energy trade monitoring company Kpler, initially cited by the Wall Street Journal, a significant increase in oil exports from the conflict-affected area has been recorded in recent days.
The Strait of Hormuz is considered one of the world's most important energy corridors. Before the escalation of conflict in the region, about a fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas passed through it, as well as significant parts of the international trade in fertilizers, aluminum and helium.
According to Kpler's estimates, Iranian oil exports have reached about 2.1 million barrels per day, a level slightly higher than before the start of hostilities.
These developments suggest that Tehran is struggling to maintain a stable level of income from energy exports, while tensions in the region continue.
Analysts estimate that control over energy traffic in Hormuz remains a key factor in the strategic balance of the Middle East and global energy markets.
