US Claims Hormuz Oil Flows Near Pre-War Levels Before November 3
🛢️ HORMUZ — Washington is declaring victory in the strait before the votes are counted. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: CENTCOM claiming near-prewar flows contradicts IRGC's three tankers burning claim published hours ago. One of these narratives is wrong — or both are tactical. Washington needs the strait open to justify not striking yet; Tehran needs it visibly threatened to retain leverage. The November 3 window makes both claims simultaneously useful.
