Then use the U.S. Treasury’s OFAC sanctions search to identify targeted vessels and effective dates, and check U.S. Central Command for military operations. Use EIA data to confirm oil volumes moving through the strait. Check freight indicators for actual route and rate changes. Verify each vessel’s sanctions, fl...
