The oil cargo tracking company reported, based on new satellite images, that no new crossings of the Strait of Hormuz are being recorded.

This situation comes despite the fact that, according to Brigadier General Tangsiri, commander of the IRGC Navy, the Strait of Hormuz has not yet been closed militarily and is merely being controlled.

Reuters wrote that oil prices have increased by 3 percent due to Iran's threat of a West Asian conflict over oil export facilities, and oil markets opened at a price of over $106 per barrel last midnight.

The Wall Street Journal also wrote that oil company executives have sent worrying messages to the Trump administration, warning that the energy crisis is intensifying.
