Mehdi Maslehi, an oil market expert, referring to Kpler’s report on the increase in Middle East crude oil exports to levels higher than before the war, said that exporting countries and buyers have been able to adapt themselves to crisis conditions and maintain the flow of oil trade, although it is still not possible to say that this increase has turned into a sustainable trend.

He added that recent developments show that there is a difference between creating insecurity in the Strait of Hormuz and the ability to stop the region’s oil exports, and the Islamic Republic has so far been unable to carry out the claim that “if we cannot sell, no one can sell.”
