    US Oil Inventories Plummet Amid Iran War Disruptions

    US oil inventories, including both commercial and strategic petroleum reserves, have fallen significantly due to supply disruptions caused by the ongoing conflict with Iran. This decline, which has seen inventories drop to their lowest levels since the 1980s, threatens the US's ability to serve as a reliable supplier to global markets, particularly in Asia and Europe. The Strategic Petroleum Reserve (SPR) has fallen by 108 million barrels over the past 18 weeks, with commercial crude oil stocks also declining sharply. Analysts warn that this trend could lead to increased oil prices and reduced market stability if further disruptions occur.
