Oil prices can reflect supply risk around the strait. They are a pressure signal, not proof that shipping has slowed or stopped.

What the cost figure includes
The $37.5B figure is the latest public Pentagon total for Operation Epic Fury in the 2026 U.S.–Iran war, reported July 21, and includes past and projected costs through September 30. It is held steady because no authoritative live spending ledger or ongoing burn rate is public.
How the Hormuz watch works
The watch combines current WTI and Brent prices with relevant public reporting. These are indicators of supply pressure and market concern, not a direct measurement of vessel traffic or proof of a disruption.
Why some data is delayed
AAA gasoline observations are daily, Treasury debt records are periodic, and casualty reporting depends on published source updates. The site separates the source date from the time it last checked.
