A senior Kpler analyst offers this explanation for the rise in oil exports at high prices: Gulf countries may be paying Iran to allow their oil through – potentially handing Tehran a significant portion of the value of the cargo. aje.news/vb7a13

Is Iran charging a toll to allow oil traffic through Hormuz?

Crude exports bypassing Hormuz surged in September, yet oil prices remain high. Could a secret fee be the reason?

Diesel price has spiked because of the war on Iran.
Ukraine destroying Russian oil refining infrastructure increases the global supply of crude oil (making it cheaper) because Russia has to export the oil it otherwise would've refined into diesel/gasoline for domestic consumption.
