Persian Gulf oil exports near pre-war levels amid U.S. military presence

Persian Gulf oil exports are nearing pre-war levels, with major financial institutions like JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs reporting significant recovery. This rebound is partly due to a shift in export routes, with more crude now bypassing the Strait of Hormuz. Despite U.S. military efforts to protect shipping and degrade Iran's targeting capabilities, attacks on commercial vessels persist, keeping insurance and shipping costs elevated. Analysts warn that Iran, facing economic pressure, could escalate its actions by targeting oil infrastructure, potentially leading to a "scorched earth campaign" if diplomatic solutions are not pursued.
