Countries in the Persian Gulf are secretly transporting more than four million barrels of oil daily through the Strait of Hormuz. This measure is designed to prevent a price spike to $150 per barrel, as reported by The Insider.

According to Ukrainska Pravda, the countries have established a secret method of transporting oil that involves overloading tankers in the Gulf of Oman. This practice continues despite regular attacks by Iran on incoming ships.

Meduza refers to reports from Bloomberg noting that these secret oil transports contribute to stabilizing global oil prices in the range of $80 to $90 per barrel. The transport strategy is being developed to address ongoing geopolitical tensions and threats.
