Economic and military pressure on Iran has intensified as the U.S. administration executes ‘Operation Economic Outcast,’ a campaign targeting foreign entities doing business with Tehran. U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has warned that Iran may have ‘nothing left to trade’ within approximately two weeks, following the expected completion of its final oil deliveries to China. Diplomatic efforts have stalled after President Donald Trump rejected an Iranian proposal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz for seven days in exchange for the unfreezing of roughly $12 billion in assets and eased sanctions. While Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated Tehran remains open to diplomacy, he warned of resistance to any new aggression. The Trump administration has maintained its blockade, asserting that the Strait remains open with daily oil flows averaging between 15 and 22 million barrels. Despite the ongoing conflict, Middle East crude oil exports rebounded in September to 12.8 million barrels per day, the highest level since the start of the war in February. This recovery is driven by increased shipments from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. Saudi Arabia is on track to export approximately 5.4 million barrels per day, aided by the resumption of exports through the East-West pipeline and increased activity at the Ras Tanura terminal. terminal, where shipments have risen to 3.6 million barrels per day. Exports through the Strait of Hormuz are expected to reach approximately 7.4 million barrels per day in September, though regional exports remain roughly 6 million barrels per day lower than the 18.8 million barrels per day recorded in February.
