https://oilprice.com/Energy/Energy-General/Middle-East-Oil-Exports-Stage-a-Remarkable-Comeback.htmlExports of crude oil from the Middle East hit their highest level in September since the war with Iran began, reinforcing a trend of increased supplies despite Iranian attacks on shipping in the Strait of Hormuz, according to analysis of shipping and commodity market data by industry observers."More oil is coming out of the Middle East Gulf than many expected that would be possible even just a few months ago," Richard Meade, chief editor of Lloyds List, told an online briefing on October 1.Lloyds List data shows a steady upward curve of crude tanker transits through the Strait of Hormuz since mid-July, following a sharp fall that coincided with the collapse of the US-Iran memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the conflict, now in its eighth month.Investment bank JP Morgan said Middle East crude exports in September were at 98 percent of pre-war levels, describing it as "a remarkable recovery for a region still at war."Commodities analytics firm Kpler reported Saudi oil exports were at average levels for 2025, while maritime intelligence company Windward said Saudi terminals loaded four times more oil than in August -- a big increase but still nearly 40 percent lower than in January.There appear to be a number of factors behind the revival, including the Saudi East-West oil pipeline, the use of oil shuttles and ship-to-ship oil transfers, and a willingness by some in the industry to accept higher risk.The Saudi pipeline, which pumps its crude to the Yanbu port on the Red Sea to bypass the Strait of Hormuz, was damaged in an attack by Iran-aligned Houthi militants on September 10. An uptick in shipments from Yanbu later in the month, however, suggested the pipeline had regained at least some of its lost operational capacity.

>>1540750>strait status?IrrelevantTHE OIL MUST FLOW
Apologies to Trump WHEN?!?
>>1540750I love throwing this in their faces there's a website we can check their lives.I bet that these contributors are Iranians fucking with dumbass Americans
>>1540749Oh no no no no!Muh fukkin' midterms!!!>>1540754Schizos.
>Oil production is fine>Diesel and gas are still expensive as fuckSo either they're lying or there's extreme price gouging going on.
>>1540764Did you read the article?I guess not...
>>1540768So you're confirming it's either price gouging or more trump lies to further interfere with the midterms.Good to know.
>>1540793yes the news article says this is trump lies to interfere with the midtermsYou are an amazing reader
>>1540795Given prices have not gone down to pre trump war levels, this is the case. Thank you for confirming.
>>1540807https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/13/business/trump-ukraine-diesel.htmlThe Iran War is not the only thing in the world that can drive up the price of gas prices. Thanks for presenting a false dichotomyTrump wasn't president last time gas hit 5 dollars a gallon, and there was no Iran warhttps://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-gasoline-average-pump-price-tops-5gallon-historic-first-2022-06-11/
>>1540808>Now pushing russian propagandaMaybe trump shouldn't have conspired with the russians.Either way, at least you admit you're yet another /pol/ppet trying to gaslight people into thinking gas is fine.Too bad that doesn't work because people have to fuel up their cars and still buy basic things like food.
>this new york times article reporting on the president's speech is russian propaganda>you are a shill from another countryYou might be a paranoid schizophrenic. Russians are not hiding under your bed. Starlink didn't hack the election
>Brings up starlink unprompted Consciousness of guilt is a bitch.
>>1540808>Trump wasn't president last time gas hit 5 dollars a gallonThe biggest concern isn't gas prices as this only affects certain aspects of the supply chain. Of much higher concern is the price of diesel which affects everything we buy. As the article points out.
>>1540813And Diesel is currently at a record high.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-10-01/diesel-prices-at-record-highs-in-the-us-as-iran-war-hits-seventh-month
>>1540813>>1540816Keep coping.
>>1540816This Joe Miller, Colorado farmer, sure makes the news quit a bit.
>>1540808>Whataboutism.The last time gas hit 5 bucks a gallon we didn't start a war of aggression against the people guarding the shipping lane for 20% of the world's oil. Under a president that ran on no new wars and affordability.So who gives a fuck what prices were like at any other point in history? They are dogshit now, and constantly getting worse a a direct result of our unhinged actions against iran. Cope harder faggot.>>1540829>I have no rebuttal, uh... kEeP cOpInG!Yeah, you're definitely not the one coping here, and you definitely didn't just crash out into a lil meltie there. Good job handling those big feelings you stupid little bitch.
>>1540849You said "Given prices have not gone down to pre trump war levels, this is the case."You are acting like the only reason in the world gas prices could be high is the iran war, and if prices are high that must mean the iran war is causing problems. I posted evidence you could have high gas prices without a war in iran or a strait closed down, and then you say "whataboutism"
>>1540870Donald J. Trump is the reason oil prices are so high. Manipulating the oil market for his billionaire friends is like his second favorite hobby after golf.
>>1540874So in 2022 when gas prices were $5 a gallon, why were gas prices so high?https://www.reuters.com/business/energy/us-gasoline-average-pump-price-tops-5gallon-historic-first-2022-06-11/
>>1540878Because Donald Trump caused Putin's landgrab, duuuh.
>>1540879Stinky
>>1540749LET'S FUCKING GO RED WAVE 2026
>>1540764Because multiple important refineries around the world have been blown up
>>1540878We have already been over this 100 times and you idiots never respond to my post. As people got back to they're normal lives after covid there was a huge increase demand in oil, meanwhile the suppliers drastically cut supply because of covid decreased demands. There was less oil to go around so prices went up but then stabilized.
>>1541014So you're saying that Biden mismanaged the recovery from COVID again?Wow, it's like Biden fucked up the handling of COVID so bad it caused terrible issues and more deaths in a single year than in the history of COVID.Thanks for attempting to reword it.
>I will literally believe ANYTHING to avoid confronting the fact Trump is a corrupt pedophile.
>I will do anything to blown Briben's cock and avoid having Democrats take any responsibility for the utter disaster caused entirely by their irrational lust for power.
>>1541019I know simple concepts are hard for righty retards to understand, but no, that isn't what they were saying.
>>1541022but how else are you going to argue if you don't have the factual or moral high ground?
>>1541022I mean, that looks like what you're saying.I need to make up a flowchart of the simple way you liggeral trashcans operate.
>>1541024No it doesn't, it just looks like that's what they're saying to you because you're a simpleton and you lack the mental acuity to follow them.>>1541023Guess it's lucky they have both.>>1541021>I'd rather deflect about biden than confront the corruption right in front of my face because I'm a stupid faggot.
>>1541028>No it doesn't, it just looks like that's what they're saying to you because you're a simpleton and you lack the mental acuity to follow them.I'm fairly certain the simpleton is the person presenting the 2d argument that lacks understanding of the topic.
>>1541029Yeah, that's you. You can't follow the economic factors influencing inflation in recent years no matter how many times you have it explained to you, and deflect to a flat argument that's been BTFO for months. You're stuck fighting a battle that's been over for 2 years because the moment you move on you lose, with the grand irony being you lost that battle too, you're just too fucking stupid to understand it. You're the guy in samurai movies who gets cut in half and has to take a step or two before you fall to pieces. Now screech about biden some more you tired old fag.
>>1541031>You can't follow the mysterious factors!!!Stinky.
>>1541014I thought it was because Russia is a massive energy exporter, and there a war between Russia and Ukraine that started in 2022 disrupted global energy markets causing prices to rise. Sort of like how Iran is an energy exporter and a war with Iran in 2026 would drive up the cost of diesel
>>1541037It was actually because Biden led a massive attack on US energy. Remember what happened to Natural gas prices?
>>1541058>It was actually because Biden led a massive attack on US energy. >And then Biden stole all my money and made me poop in my pants!
>>1541028What corruption is in front of our faces?
>>1541100D's and dis
>>1541100>What corruption is in front of our faces?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_allegations_during_the_second_Trump_presidencyYou're welcome, you fat retard.
>>1541095>>It was actually because Biden led a massive attack on US energyThis is totally true. Idk why you guys would burn energy, and make yourselves look like mindless partisans, arguing otherwise. >>1541123>a wiki of vague allegations Oh, wow
>>1541135>vague allegations"Your mom was drinking heavily when she was pregnant with you" is a vague allegation.Donald Trump giving billions in government contracts to his sons is not.Learn the difference and people will maybe stop laughing at you.
>>1541180>Donald Trump giving billions in government contracts to his sons is not.HUGE if true. Link?
>>1541180I searched " son " in that article >>1541123All I found was that his oldest son was a trustee, and Indonesian president asking if Trump can meet the indonesian president's son EricI don't see anything referencing a billion dollar government to the trump sons
