analysts say that if a ship has indeed been seized in the gulf of oman, there'll be suspicion that iranianitime intelligence has been confirming that indeed the hijack has taken place and that armed men believed to be from the iranian revolutionary guards corps have taken over control of a medium—sized tanker, the ship is in order to sail to iran. there's been no confirmation of this from iran at all and in the past they usually were denied these roles initially. this particular tanker was sailing from the port in oman, i've had a look at the maritime tracker and it's not moving very fast, it's currently under way but at less than one not so it's almost stationary and almost midway between the coast of the uae and iran. but it's being taken very seriously and in the last two been a comment from the white house saying that the us is taking this very seriously because the cubs just five days after the fatal drone attack that killed a british security guard and romanian sailor on board the merchant tanker not far away. also off the coast of oman, so this is a very worrying development. team g

for now, it seems to have cooled off in terms of actual, physical movement happening in the persian gulf in the gulf of oman, around the arabian sea, but we're at the stage where the un security council is discussing these incidents, the complaints the israelis have raised at the u.n. >> some analysts are calling it a shadow war. where does that leave sales with sanctions? >> right now there has been no impact that we know of on iranian oil output levels. production has dropped since u.s. sanctions were reinstated, reimposed on iran back in 2018. the stronger impact of those sanctions have been on iran's export levels. those export levels have dropped dramatically since 2017, a direct result of this effective embargo that the trump administration imposed on iran's energy industry. alix: thank you very much. such an important update to consider. time for commodity in chief, where we talk to one executive in the commodity world. today it is the american clean power ceo. the u.s. has been a clean energy power goals. president biden wants to eliminate carbon from the grid by 2025. enter american clean power. it

today with the news coming from lloyd's list confirming an oil tanker has been hijacked in the gulf of oman yeah. there are certain shipping routes - risk impacting supply? yeah. there are certain shipping routes which i are certain shipping routes which are certain shipping routes which are known to be high risk. those ships have to protect themselves. so it is known there are high—risk channels which are used. shipping companies will often try to avoid those. but of course where this one has happened, this is an absolute key shipping lane. and so continually supply chain professionals around the world are having to monitor what is actually going on globally in terms ofjust looking at where the risks, where restrictions are occurring. ports are getting shut down because of covid, for example. or because of storms. there are certain times of the year you don't actually want to move your goods across certain oceans. ocea ns. professor oceans. professor richard wilding. whilst we are going down memory lane and talking about impact on supply chains, let's remind you of the colonial pipeline cy

of the gulf and the international community. there are two incidents to discuss here, first the potential hijacking of this tanker that has happened off the coast of oman but up to nine men boarded the ship yesterday off the coast of amman golf and they said they had been ordered to sail towards iran. do not forget, this ship is a panama ship and it is based in the united arab emirates. two years ago another ship of this company was seized by iranian revolutionaries guards. but what we are hearing is that this is a suspicious plan, they want to use as a pretext for a hostile attack against iran. so iranian officials denying any involvement, but people believe, most people watching this incident, blame iran and possibly thought there might be groups in the region linked to iran at boarding the ship. region linked to iran at boarding the shi -. ., region linked to iran at boarding the shi -. . , ., the ship. then we have this drone attack on july _ the ship. then we have this drone attack on july the _ the ship. then we have this drone attack on july the 29th _ the ship. then we have this drone attack on july the 29th in - the ship. then we have this dro

shipping in the gulf of oman is on high alert after two incidents this week where tankers came under . one of them was named today as a british security guard and former soldier, adrian underwood. the mt mercer street is the tanker, it�*s operated by an israeli—owned company. israel�*s defence minister benny gantz has publicly named the iranian official he says ordered the attack, blaming it on the head of the revolutionary guards drone command. mr gantz called it "an assault on global trade routes" and "an international crime". the head of the british military, general sir nick carter, has been speaking to bbc radio. what we need to be doing, fundamentally, is calling out iran for its very reckless behaviour. i mean, they made a big mistake on a they did against the mercer street vessel last week, because, of course, that has very much internationalised the state of play in the gulf. and i think, you know, we will work out with our allies what is the best way of providing protection. and convoys may not necessarily be the right method. we have used other methods, and we will keep rev
