Hormuz Oil Flow Falls To 14.6 Million Barrels A Day

An energy analyst studies a Hormuz throughput table whose latest column has dropped.

TL;DR

X has the Iran war both won and everlasting; EIA's table shows Hormuz oil flow fell to 14.6 million barrels a day early in 2026, a quarter off baseline, without the strait ever closing.

MSM Perspective

MSM such as Reuters reads the war through Brent futures and ceasefire diplomacy, not the throughput column EIA publishes.

X Perspective

X toggles between a war declared finished and a strait one missile from sealing, citing neither the barrel count nor the quarter it fell in.
