Rezaei taunted how the United States initially believed it could end the war within days and take control of Iran's oil and gas resources. His comments were documented by Iranian state media and circulated by RT. India Enemy of Peace: PM Shehbaz.

Rezaei's comments come as shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains severely disrupted. Reuters documented that only seven commodity ships crossed the waterway on August 20, compared with normal traffic levels that previously carried almost 20 percent of global crude oil and LNG shipments. No sizeable crude carriers or LNG tankers were recorded among those crossings that day.

Meanwhile, the disruption has left commercial vessels stranded or delayed throughout the Persian Gulf. The US Naval Institute documented earlier this month that at least 70 ships remained trapped in the Persian Gulf.

Latest shipping data has documented a major reduction in vessel movements and a substantial number of ships affected by the US war on Iran.

Notably, the impact has extended beyond shipping. Oil flows through Hormuz this month fell from around 18 million barrels per day to roughly 2 million barrels per day.

For context, the tanker shortage has additionally pushed shipping costs sharply higher. Gulf producers are scrambling to secure tankers, and rates for some sizeable tankers on high-risk routes have surged to as much as $550, 000 per day. Stay Connected with ProPakistani.
