Rosneft CEO Sechin Claims U.S. Benefits from Strait of Hormuz Closure
Igor Sechin, CEO of Rosneft, stated that U.S. energy companies are benefiting from the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, a critical passage for global oil supplies. The closure followed an attack by the U.S. and Israel on Iran, resulting in the death of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Sechin criticized the U.S. actions as an attempt to reshape global energy markets to its advantage, warning of strategic risks and potential disruptions to other major global routes. He noted that the tension could undermine long-term oil demand and increase interest in alternative energy sources.
