Every time the Strait of Hormu

Every time the Strait of Hormuz appears in the news, the headline is always the same: OIL! OIL! OIL! 🛢️

Because clearly the only thing moving through that tiny waterway is oil. Not LNG from Qatar, not petrochemicals, not fertilizers, not aluminum, not the mountain of industrial materials modern economies depend on. Nope. Just oil.

But I understand — we have to keep things simple for readers. Apparently if we mention more than one commodity, people might get confused. 🙃

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt later clarified that no such operation had taken place, but stated the US military was developing additional strategies to counter any Iranian efforts to restrict traffic through the critical waterway.\nOn Tuesday afternoon, President Donald Trump posted a series of social media updates. He initially stated the US had &#34;no reports&#34; of mines being deployed, then called on Iranian forces to remove any explosives they might have placed. Subsequently, he announced the US was utilizing &#34;the same Technology and Missile capabilities deployed against Drug Traffickers&#34; to target minelaying vessels.\nMinutes later, the president reported US forces had &#34;hit, and completely destroyed, 10 inactive mine laying boats&#34; and indicated further actions would follow.\nThe erroneous post by Wright and Trump&#39;s rapid-fire updates highlighted the inconsistent messaging that has concerned observers in Washington and financial markets. Oil prices initially fell nearly 20% following the energy secretary&#39;s post before partially recovering as more information became available.\nThe conflict has expanded across the Middle East, pushing regional energy producers toward a crisis. Global retail gasoline and diesel prices have surged, creating political challenges in the US during an election year and prompting some Asian governments to implement fuel consumption restrictions.\nThe vital Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed to nearly all maritime traffic. Saudi Arabia, Iraq, the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait have significantly reduced oil production. There are few indications the strait can reopen quickly without at least a temporary cessation of hostilities.\nSaudi Aramco CEO Amin Nasser described the situation as &#34;the biggest crisis the region&#39;s oil and gas industry has faced.&#34;\nUS officials indicated on Tuesday that military operations against Iran were intensifying and diplomatic negotiations appeared unlikely, contradicting Trump&#39;s previous suggestion of a near-term resolution. Leavitt confirmed the US was taking steps to dismantle Iran&#39;s missile production facilities.\n&#34;The fundamental question remains whether Iran genuinely seeks a diplomatic solution,&#34; stated Special Envoy Steve Witkoff in a CNBC interview. &#34;Current evidence suggests they do not.&#34;\nThe Pentagon reinforced this position, noting the US and Israel had conducted their most extensive attacks against Iran to date.\n&#34;Our operations will continue until the enemy is decisively defeated,&#34; Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth stated at a press briefing. &#34;We will proceed according to our own timeline and strategic decisions.&#34;\nIran continued offensive operations, launching drones and missiles at various targets across the Middle East.\nThe largest refinery at Ruwais in the UAE suspended operations following a drone strike that ignited a fire in its industrial complex, according to informed sources. Abu Dhabi National Oil Co. was evaluating damage at the facility.\nEarly week indications suggested Iranian attacks on some nations, including the UAE, were diminishing. Persian Gulf airlines gradually resumed flights despite ongoing missile and drone interceptions by regional defenses.\nNevertheless, the UAE reported overnight ballistic missile launches from Iran, while Saudi Arabia and Kuwait confirmed intercepting Iranian drones. Air raid sirens were activated in Bahrain.\nIranian President Masoud Pezeshkian expressed Tehran&#39;s willingness to de-escalate conflicts provided neighboring countries&#39; &#34;airspace, territory, and waters&#34; aren&#39;t used to launch attacks against Iran, according to the semi-official Mehr news agency.\nPezeshkian&#39;s comments followed Monday&#39;s interception of an Iranian missile in Turkish airspace by NATO defenses. NATO is enhancing air defenses in southeastern Turkey, where the US operates critical radar systems supporting the alliance&#39;s missile shield.\nAustralia, South Korea and the United Kingdom have contributed to strengthening Gulf allies&#39; defenses or are considering requests for assistance.\nOfficial reports indicate over 1,300 Iranian casualties, though this figure hasn&#39;t been updated recently. At least seven US service members have died, with Leavitt confirming approximately 150 injuries. Two Israeli soldiers and about a dozen civilians have been killed, with additional fatalities reported in Gulf nations.\nIsraeli forces continued strikes in southern Lebanon on Tuesday targeting Iran-aligned Hezbollah. Lebanon&#39;s health ministry reports approximately 486 fatalities in the country.\nAccording to an Axios report citing three informed sources, the US and Israel disagree regarding Israeli attacks on Iranian energy infrastructure. US Senator Lindsey Graham recently advised Israel to exercise caution in target selection to avoid permanently damaging Iran&#39;s future capabilities.\n</body></html>","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Contradictory US Statements on Iran Conflict Fuel Market Turbulence</title>\n<style type=\"text/css\">\na,abbr,acronym,address,applet,article,aside,audio,b,big,blockquote,body,canvas,caption,center,cite,code,dd,del,details,dfn,div,dl,dt,\nem,embed,fieldset,figcaption,figure,footer,form,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,header,hgroup,html,i,iframe,img,ins,kbd,label,legend,li,mark,menu,nav,\nobject,ol,output,p,pre,q,ruby,s,samp,section,small,span,strike,strong,sub,summary,sup,table,tbody,td,tfoot,th,thead,time,tr,tt,u,ul,var,video{ font:inherit;margin:0;padding:0;vertical-align:baseline;border:0 }\nbody{ font-size:16px; line-height:1.5; color:#999; background:transparent; }\n.wrapper{ overflow:hidden;word-break:break-all;padding:10px; }\nh1,h2{ font-weight:normal; line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:.6em; }\nh3,h4,h5,h6{ line-height:1.35; margin-bottom:1em; }\nh1{ font-size:24px; }\nh2{ font-size:20px; }\nh3{ font-size:18px; }\nh4{ font-size:16px; }\nh5{ font-size:14px; }\nh6{ font-size:12px; }\np,ul,ol,blockquote,dl,table{ margin:1.2em 0; }\nul,ol{ margin-left:2em; }\nul{ list-style:disc; }\nol{ list-style:decimal; }\nli,li p{ margin:10px 0;}\nimg{ max-width:100%;display:block;margin:0 auto 1em; }\nblockquote{ color:#B5B2B1; border-left:3px solid #aaa; padding:1em; }\nstrong,b{font-weight:bold;}\nem,i{font-style:italic;}\ntable{ width:100%;border-collapse:collapse;border-spacing:1px;margin:1em 0;font-size:.9em; }\nth,td{ padding:5px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #aaa; }\nth{ font-weight:bold;background:#5d5d5d; }\n.symbol-link{font-weight:bold;}\n/* header{ border-bottom:1px solid #494756; } */\n.title{ margin:0 0 8px;line-height:1.3;color:#ddd; }\n.meta {color:#5e5c6d;font-size:13px;margin:0 0 .5em; }\na{text-decoration:none; color:#2a4b87;}\n.meta .head { display: inline-block; overflow: hidden}\n.head .h-thumb { width: 30px; height: 30px; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-radius: 50%; float: left;}\n.head .h-content { margin: 0; padding: 0 0 0 9px; float: left;}\n.head .h-name {font-size: 13px; color: #eee; margin: 0;}\n.head .h-time {font-size: 11px; color: #7E829C; margin: 0;line-height: 11px;}\n.small {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.9); -webkit-transform: scale(0.9); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.smaller {font-size: 12.5px; display: inline-block; transform: scale(0.8); -webkit-transform: scale(0.8); transform-origin: left; -webkit-transform-origin: left;}\n.bt-text {font-size: 12px;margin: 1.5em 0 0 0}\n.bt-text p {margin: 0}\n</style>\n</head>\n<body>\n<div class=\"wrapper\">\n<header>\n<h2 class=\"title\">\nContradictory US Statements on Iran Conflict Fuel Market Turbulence\n</h2>\n\n<h4 class=\"meta\">\n\n\n<a class=\"head\" href=\"https://laohu8.com/wemedia/1079075236\">\n\n\n<div class=\"h-thumb\" style=\"background-image:url(https://static.tigerbbs.com/8274c5b9d4c2852bfb1c4d6ce16c68ba);background-size:cover;\"></div>\n\n<div class=\"h-content\">\nTiger Newspress \n2026-03-11 07:49\n</div>\n\n</a>\n\n\n</h4>\n\n</header>\n<article>\n<html><head></head><body>Energy markets experienced heightened volatility for a second day as investors scrambled to decipher rapidly changing statements from US officials regarding the conflict with Iran.\nOil prices dropped sharply after Energy Secretary Chris Wright mistakenly posted and later removed a social media message claiming the US Navy had escorted a tanker through the Strait of Hormuz.
