Russia and Iran are close to finalising a bilateral gas supply trade agreement, while US President Donald Trump asserted the Strait of Hormuz remains open and renewed criticism of Tehran. A completed deal would deepen energy ties between two heavily sanctioned economies and reduce Western leverage over both.
China's foreign ministry confirmed a Chinese-crewed oil products tanker was attacked in the Strait of Hormuz and said it is deeply concerned about vessels caught in the Middle East conflict.
The US warned shipping firms on May 1 that paying Iranian tolls for Strait of Hormuz passage, including digital assets, swaps, or in-kind payments, risks sanctions. The move targets a broad range of payment workarounds and raises compliance costs for shippers, insurers, and commodity traders operating in the region.
Reliance Industries rejected two Iranian oil cargoes ahead of a U.S. sanctions waiver expiration that Washington will not renew. The move reduces Reliance's sanctions exposure but narrows its crude sourcing options. Indian Oil Corp, by contrast, recently completed an Iranian crude purchase, highlighting a divergence
Indian refiners are settling Iranian crude oil payments in Chinese yuan as a US sanctions waiver on such purchases nears its end, Reuters reports. The yuan route bypasses US correspondent banking networks, reducing secondary sanctions exposure but increasing dependence on Chinese financial infrastructure.
Conflict involving Iran has pushed the US closer to net crude exporter status than at any time since World War Two, reshaping American energy positioning. The shift carries direct consequences for upstream producers, export infrastructure operators, and the dollar's role in global oil pricing.
