Iran fast-tracks 11 million barrels of oil as Trump threatens blockade

Iran dispatched 11 million barrels of crude oil via five supertankers and one Suezmax vessel amid escalating US-Iran tensions. US military strikes targeting Iranian civilian infrastructure, including railway bridges, caused 14 deaths and 78 injuries, risking a blockade of Iranian ports and disrupting maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. Oil prices rose nearly nine percent to $79 a barrel as a result.
