US CENTCOM Commander Cooper: Iran Oil Exports at Zero Due to Blockade

The striking part is the divergence: a claimed total halt in Iranian crude exports alongside record-high flows of oil, cargo and LNG through Hormuz. That suggests the blockade is functioning as a selective enforcement tool rather than a broad disruption to the strait, with the market absorbing the loss of Iranian barrels without visible strain on transit volumes. The open question is whether this zero-export state is sustainable, and whether the six-month-high throughput persists or proves to be a front-loaded surge.
