The longer the Strait of Hormuz crisis goes on, the more likely countries, including US allies, will be willing to pay Iran to get oil out of the Middle East Gulf, according to Cass Technava.
The Greek broker said as energy prices climb and countries deal with shortages, buyers will become more willing to accept Iran’s terms.
