US War on Iran Drives Oil Tanker Rates to Record $1.2m Daily as Global Shipping Disrupted
Oil tanker rates surged to a record $1.2 million per day in September 2026, driven by the US war on Iran. The conflict disrupted shipping routes, particularly around the Persian Gulf, causing chaos for international shipping companies. The spike in costs has raised concerns about global energy supply stability.
Oil tanker rates reached a record high of $1.2 million per day, according to Fars News Agency. The surge is attributed to the US war on Iran, which has snarled global shipping routes. The Persian Gulf, a critical artery for oil transport, has seen increased military activity, leading to heightened risks for commercial vessels. Fars News Agency reported the rates as of September 24, 2026, citing disruptions caused by US military actions against Iranian targets.
