イランに対する米主導作戦による混乱が続く中、米エネルギー長官のホルムズ海峡通過時の海軍護衛に関する主張がホワイトハウスにより訂正された後、火曜日の原油価格は大きく変動した。ブレント原油は1バレル約81ドルまで下落した後、91ドル近辺で終了した。この事件は、世界の石油の20%を運ぶ同海峡を通る石油の流れを安定させる取り組みを浮き彫りにしている。
原油価格は、2月28日に開始されたイランでの米軍作戦「オペレーション・エピック・フューリー」によるホルムズ海峡の交通混乱で変動が続いている。同海峡はイランとアラブ首長国連邦の間に位置し、ペルシャ湾から出るタンカーの主要な通路だ。石油の流れは先週ほぼ停止したが、ゴールドマン・サックスの分析によると月曜日に通常の20%まで回復し、一部のタンカーは航行のためにトランスポンダーを無効化している。
Xの議論は、エネルギー長官クリス・ライトの米海軍がホルムズ海峡で石油タンカーを護衛したという削除された主張に集中し、ホワイトハウスがこれを訂正したことで原油価格が81ドルから91ドルへ急変動した。センチメントには、米ユーザーからの市場操作や政権の無能さの非難、エネルギー専門家からのツイート誘発のボラティリティに関する中立分析、イラン当局からの「プレイステーション」幻想と嘲笑が含まれていた。ジャーナリスト、アナリスト、政治家などの多様なアカウントの高エンゲージメント投稿が、米イラン紛争中の海峡の混乱とリスクを強調した。

Brent crude briefly rose above $100 a barrel early Thursday after two oil tankers were reported struck by projectiles near Iraq, adding to supply fears tied to the Iran war and disruption in the Strait of Hormuz. U.S. officials said President Donald Trump authorized a 172 million-barrel release from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve beginning next week.
President Trump justified U.S. strikes on Iran's nuclear program despite oil prices topping $100 per barrel, following Iranian attacks on tankers that disrupted Gulf shipping. He prioritized preventing Iran's nuclear armament over short-term energy costs, announcing further measures to ease U.S. gas prices.

Global oil prices are poised for their strongest monthly gain on record, with Brent crude nearing a 60% March surge due to the Iran war. US President Donald Trump indicated he is considering an exit from the conflict despite ongoing disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. Tanker attacks continue to choke supplies.
Oil prices have surged past $90 a barrel a week after the US and Israel launched major attacks on Iran, escalating into a Middle East war. The conflict has stranded oil shipments in the Persian Gulf and damaged key facilities, disrupting supplies. Consumers globally face higher gasoline and diesel costs as a result.

Oil prices surged about 20% on Monday as the expanding U.S.-Israeli war with Iran prompted major Middle Eastern producers to cut supplies, reaching highs not seen since July 2022. Iraq and Kuwait have reduced output, amid fears of prolonged disruptions in the Strait of Hormuz. The conflict could impose weeks or months of elevated fuel costs worldwide, even if it resolves quickly.
The Colombian dollar closed lower on March 13, 2026, affected by statements from President Donald Trump and Iranian leader Mojtaba Khamenei regarding the Middle East war. Tensions in the Strait of Hormuz drove oil price increases, raising investor alerts. U.S. and IEA measures aim to stabilize supply, but escalation continues.
AIによるレポート
Escalation of conflict between Iran, the United States, and Israel has led Iran to order the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, halting tanker traffic and driving global oil prices above US$80 per barrel. The effects extend to Europe, which is now reconsidering plans to end Russian gas imports, while Indonesia pushes for de-escalation via the D-8 organization and assures stable fuel supplies.
