Trump’s energy chief says half of Hormuz stoppages restored

The interviewee describes a 14 million barrel/day flow gap being actively restored, with flows approaching half the gap and rising, implying increased supply and downward pressure on oil prices.

Iran's only meaningful leverage is interrupting Persian Gulf energy flows; 20 million barrels/day flowed out before conflict, 5 million diverted, leaving a 14 million barrel/day gap.

Increased production elsewhere and a military effort to restore flows have brought current flows close to half the gap, and they are rising.
Chris Wright

President Trump stated Iran will not have a nuclear weapon and the US will restore energy flows with or without Iran, preferring diplomacy but backed by the world's most powerful military.

Most of Iran's military capabilities have been destroyed, and the US will restore flows unilaterally if necessary.
