#Hormuz Strait

Brent crude futures rose to $107.51 per barrel, and WTI to $102.32, amid Houthi strikes on southern Saudi Arabia and an incident in which a vessel was hit by a projectile in the Strait of Hormuz.

Russia's ambassador to India declared readiness to supply Delhi with as much oil as it needs, against the backdrop of the preparation in the US of a sanctions bill limiting Russian oil exports.

Despite Trump's claims of full clearance of the Strait of Hormuz, experts estimate that 80–150 mines remain in the waters. Iran and Oman are negotiating a temporary corridor, while oil prices are falling.

Brent topped $94 — a high since July 24. Global oil stockpiles have fallen 6% since February, and the US SPR has dropped below 300 million barrels — a low since 1983. Experts warn: if the Hormuz blockade persists, reserves could be exhausted by 2027.

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent stated that Washington will impose the harshest sanctions in history against Iran, combined with a blockade. Details are promised for August 24.
