Iranian Tankers Evade US Blockade, Deliver Oil to Asia
- The market predicts a 39.5% chance of Donald Trump announcing the lifting of the US blockade on the Strait of Hormuz by May 31, 2026, down from 44%.
- Two Iranian oil tankers bypassed the US naval blockade, delivering approximately four million barrels of oil to Asia.
- The incident follows a US-Israel attack on Iran, leading to Iran’s closure of the Strait and subsequent US blockade.
- Mutual ship seizures between the US and Iran continue as peace talks stall.
The successful evasion by Iranian tankers suggests ongoing challenges to the blockade and reflects a decreased likelihood of its lifting before May 31. The situation remains tense with disruptions in Strait traffic impacting market sentiment.
