After the attack on three tankers by Iran, many discussions have started. Some people believe that behind this attack there could be not only military or political reasons, but also a strategy related to the oil market. The three tankers that Iran has claimed to have targeted include Qatar’s LNG tanker Al Reqayat, Saudi-flagged crude oil tanker Wedyan and a Liberian-flagged tanker. Iran says that it has control and influence over the Strait of Hormuz and only the sea routes determined by it are safe. Iran is presenting this as a new post-war situation in the region.
Another discussion is also emerging regarding this entire incident, which some people are seeing as a conspiracy or conspiracy theory. It is believed that Iran has deliberately taken steps to increase tension to keep oil prices high. People who believe in this logic say that whenever tension increases in the Middle East, oil prices in the international market are affected and prices start increasing. Oil exporting countries can benefit from high oil prices, so some analysts believe that Iran wants oil prices not to go down in the global market.

Saudi Arabia cuts oil prices
This discussion is also gaining strength because recently Saudi Arabia had made a big cut in oil prices after almost 26 years. Some people believe that targeting the Saudi tanker can be seen as a response to that decision. However, there has been no confirmation of this claim. Another opinion is that some radical elements of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) want to maintain tension in the region. He believes that a tough stance is necessary to maintain complete influence and control over the Strait of Hormuz. For this reason they may try to weaken any kind of ceasefire or peace process.
