0:54Now PlayingThe United States is draining its Strategic Petroleum Reserve just as Iran, Israel and the wider Middle East war threaten oil flows through the critical Strait of Hormuz, where much of the world’s crude moves. **SUBSCRIBE**
Iran TRAPS 150 Oil Tankers Trump's Next Move Will Shock You
President Trump’s new 172 million‑barrel release will slash U.S. oil reserves by about 41%, leaving roughly 243 million barrels, barely a third of capacity, and only about 93 million realistically usable—less than five days of normal Hormuz‑bound oil flows. This shrinking strategic buffer magnifies the risk that any Iranian attack on shipping or Israel‑Iran escalation could send energy prices and inflation soaring. That danger was underscored when two oil tankers off Iraq, including one linked to American interests, were set ablaze in a likely Iranian strike, killing at least one crew member and forcing Iraq to halt exports from key terminals.
