Rubio predicted an increase in the volume of oil coming through the Strait of Hormuz

The number of tankers transporting oil through the Strait of Hormuz will increase. This was stated by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, reports sb.by.

According to TASS, he said: More oil is now passing through the Strait of Hormuz than ever before. The US armed forces on the orders of the President [Donald Trump] demined this water area. Every day you see more and more ships coming out of there. A significant proportion of pre-conflict oil now enters the market through the strait, and that volume will continue to grow. At the same time, Iran cannot take anything out because our blockade is very tough. Nothing is taken out, so they make no profit. More oil is entering the world market. Oil is not exported from Iran, and the country faces severe sanctions that severely damage its economy, and it pays a high economic price for doing so. That's the dynamic. You’ll see the situation for them continue to get worse in the coming weeks as more oil enters the market and the sanctions really start to take hold.

Earlier, in an interview with NBC News, Marco Rubio said that 60-70% of oil supplies from the volumes recorded before the war with Iran pass through the Strait of Hormuz. Macron agrees with Trump to work together to resume shipping in Hormuz
