The Energy Report: Strait Talk

4 days ago | investing.com | Phil Flynn

The United States hits Iran’s nuclear facilities conducting air strikes on Fordo, Natanz and the Isfahan sites without any opposition or return fire from Iran. After the bomb mission, Iran is now threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz. In fact, Iran’s parliament officially approved the closing of the Strait of Hormuz for the first time since 1972.

The United States hits Iran’s nuclear facilities conducting air strikes on Fordo, Natanz and the Isfahan sites without any opposition or return fire from Iran. After one of the most successful bombing missions in the history of the world, Iran is now threatening to close the Strait of Hormuz.

That statement caused a big drop in oil prices as it took away, in some traders’ minds, the possibility that President Trump would attack Iran oil facilities over the weekend. Of course if you analyze what Karoline Leavitt said, “within two weeks” which means it could be within two hours or 2 minutes or within two weeks or anywhere in between.
The Energy Report: Cracking Up

1 week ago | investing.com | Phil Flynn

The market is on the verge of another upside breakout as the diesel crack spread is cracking up, hitting the highest level since 2023 on supply tightness as the Israel-Iran conflict rages. Markets are urging refiners to increase diesel supply as geopolitical risks in the Strait of Hormuz have driven up Mideast tanker rates by 40% since June 13. Rates in other regions are also rising due to Mideast tensions, with ship navigation systems in the Gulf facing significant interference.
The Energy Report: Ayatollah’s Last Stand

1 week ago | investing.com | Phil Flynn

Out of the bunker we have heard from Iran’s Supreme Leader and Grand Poobah Ayatollah Ali Khamani saying that, “The United States should know that Iran will not surrender and any US strike will have serious irreparable consequences. We know a trapped animal can be very dangerous. Iran could employ a scorched earth policy as they are starting to fall. For oil traders that assumes it could mean an attack on our allies’ oil infrastructure and a direct threat to mine the Strait of Hormuz.

Israel’s military operation against Iran’s nuclear proliferation is called “Operation Rising Lion” but they can also call it “Operation Rising Oil Prices” as it no doubt has impacted the price of energy. Despite wild predictions of what may happen in this type of event, price increases have been relatively modest. However, this operation is raising costs, and we can see it in real time, advises Phil Flynn, senior energy analyst at The PRICE Futures Group.

The Energy Report: Why Bomb Barrels?

1 week ago | investing.com | Phil Flynn

Even though Israel has attacked Iran relentlessly and Iran has attacked back, at the end of the day the key thing to remember is that so far, the Iranian oil barrels continued to flow. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin wanted to remind folks that this war is not against the Iranian people but against the regime. He also should remind you that this is not a war against Iran’s oil capabilities either but a war against Iran’s nuclear ambitions.
