Hormuz Oil Exports Recover but Geopolitical Risks Persist
Oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz have started to recover after a period of disruption, causing global prices to ease. However, reports indicate that Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has issued a warning to ships in the strategic waterway, suggesting that significant risks remain.
The resumption of shipments from regional producers like Kuwait, Iraq, Bahrain, and Qatar has calmed markets, with Brent crude prices falling back towards pre-crisis levels. The reopening has created logistical challenges, with a large number of tankers now attempting to move at once, potentially shifting market concerns from a shortage to a glut of oil.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) has warned that a full recovery will take time as shipping lanes are cleared and supply chains normalise. The agency also noted that global demand had weakened during the crisis.
For Pakistan, the easing of oil prices provides relief for the import bill and inflation, though the situation in the strait remains volatile.

Iran and Oman have reached a “common understanding” on the future management of the Strait of Hormuz following the first meeting of a joint committee. Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister, Kazem Gharibabadi, said that technical committees will be formed to draft a proposed agreement within the next week.
Meanwhile, Iran’s foreign ministry stated there is no need for foreign intervention to clear mines in the strait, warning that such actions could complicate the situation. According to maritime tracking data, ship traffic through the waterway has continued despite security concerns, though at a reduced volume. A total of 108 vessels passed through from Friday to Sunday, compared to a pre-conflict daily average of 130 to 140.
