New fears of oil supply disruption as US-Iran hostilities resume
Renewed hostilities between the United States and Iran have brought back fears of oil supply disruption. Prices are on track for their steepest weekly gain since mid-July, up 7.6%, as the US-Iran war enters its seventh month. Twenty-five percent of the world's oil supply comes through the Strait of Hormuz, which has been blocked since the beginning of the war.

How FLIC Trust Scores workFLIC Trust Scores turn community ratings into a 0–100 signal about how readers assess a story. Fake News votes lower the score, while Liberal, Conservative, and Independent classifications support it. The formula also rewards a balanced split between Liberal and Conservative ratings instead of treating one political viewpoint as automatically more trustworthy. Scores can change as more people vote and represent community judgment, not a factual verdict or substitute for reading the original reporting. Learn more about how FLIC works.
