Tanker explosions reduce oil supply through Hormuz.
Two tankers with disabled navigation systems were hit by mines and caught fire while trying to pass through the Strait of Hormuz on an unauthorized route, Mahar agency reports, citing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. After the explosions, two other ships that were also passing through the strait changed course and turned around after receiving a warning.
Against this background, the volume of oil transported through the Strait of Hormuz dropped to 7.2 million barrels per day, amounting to 51% of the pre-war level. The drop in supplies is due to increased attacks on tankers in the area.
According to experts, a reduction in exports from the Middle East and an increase in prices in the world could lead to a decrease in the discount on Russian raw materials and an increase in the revenues of the Russian budget.
