The U.S. military intercepted two Iranian oil supertankers, Hedy and Hero II, that tried to evade its blockade, Bloomberg’s Weilun Soon reports. The U.S. blockade against Iran, which has resulted in a significant oil-supply loss, has directed vessels to turn around or return to port, with Tehran threatening vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. Publicly traded companies in the space include BP (BP), Chevron (CVX), ConocoPhillips (COP), Exxon Mobil (XOM), Shell (SHEL) and TotalEnergies (TTE).
