Middle East Oil Producers Rethink Hormuz Shipping in Iran War’s 4th Month

Summary
Persian Gulf oil producers are reworking how they move crude and fuel to customers as the Iran war enters its fourth month and raises risks around the Strait of Hormuz.
Hormuz alternatives offer only a partial fix, leaving major exporters still dependent on the narrow waterway for a large share of seaborne shipments.
That constraint is pushing producers to reassess export routes and logistics for an extended conflict rather than a short-lived disruption.
The shift underscores how a prolonged war is forcing the Middle East’s biggest energy suppliers to plan for more fragile global oil flows.
