Iran's Oil Leverage Is Gone

from US News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Iran’s threat to block the Strait of Hormuz is history, according to Energy Secretary Chris Wright, who declared that U.S. military escorts have neutralized Tehran’s leverage. Over 72 ships carrying 20 million barrels of oil passed safely through the strait in 24 hours — a clear signal that global energy flows remain steady and prices are shielded from disruption. Wright warned Iran that continued defiance will bring escalating pressure, and any real economic relief hinges on cooperation, not waivers. The message? Iran’s bargaining power is gone, and the world’s energy supply is secure — unless Tehran chooses to face consequences. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
