This came after the US-Israel-Iran war choked off energy supplies in the Strait of Hormuz, resulting in a sharp spike in oil prices worldwide.

US Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Sunday said the flow of energy products will resume through the Strait of Hormuz very soon amid the ongoing war with Iran, adding that a large oil tanker has already passed through the critical waterway without any issues.
“The plan is to get oil, natural gas and fertilisers – and all of the products from the Gulf flowing through the straits for far too long. One large tanker has already gone through the straits with no issues at all," he told Fox News.

He asserted that the US is rapidly eliminating Iran’s capabilities to strike with missiles and drones, and that rate of attrition will only increase. “We will be cautious, we’ll be careful, but energy will flow soon (through Hormuz)," he promised.
