Record number of attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, oil exports slow to 12.6 million bpd
According to BBC Verify's analysis of UK maritime agency data, 12 vessels were attacked in the Strait of Hormuz and surrounding areas between October 5 and 11, marking the highest weekly total since the start of the US-Iran war. As the number of attacks increased, oil exports through the strait slowed from 15 million barrels/day at the end of September to 12.6 million barrels/day on October 13, significantly lower than the pre-war level of 17 million barrels/day. Experts believe Iran is attempting to strengthen its control over the waterway by attacking ships.
