EconomyMiddle East oil exports recover to pre-Iran war levels despite Hormuz attacks

Non-Iranian Middle East crude exports returned to pre-war levels in late September despite continued attacks on vessels near the Strait of Hormuz. Producers increasingly used alternative routes and ship-to-ship transfers; around 40% of crude bypassed the strait. Iranian exports remained well below their pre-war average, while at least seven recent maritime incidents were reported.
