        There are a variety of reasons to be confused, even the entire oil market is confused.

        Here are some reasons for confusion:

        • The Bendy of Hormuz is not closed, it’s just closed to ships Iran doesn’t like. Iran has somehow actually exported more oil since the war began.
        • Iran has told GCC countries they can use the Bendy if they don’t allow US troops to stage attacks from their countries.
        • The maritime data is being spoofed. Pretty sure it’s US allies doing the spoofing, they were making it look like there was a line of ships ready to cross, when in actuality they weren’t even there.
        • The Trump admin straight up lied the other day and said they safley escorted a ship.
