Gulf oil exports top prewar levels despite ongoing Iran conflict, Kpler says
Kpler data shows GCC states now export about 24 million barrels per day, surpassing pre-war volumes, with roughly 14 million bpd moving through the U.S.-protected shipping lane in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran remains excluded from this trade under a continuing U.S. Navy blockade, while hundreds of tankers, including a short-haul 'Hormuz Shuttle Service,' keep crude flowing despite periodic drone and missile strikes.
