The group made a record intervention in the market on Wednesday, with the release of 400m barrels from the strategic reserves.

But Tehran's threat to the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important shipping routes, has not diminished. Iran has effectively closed the narrow waterway, through which 20 percent of the world's oil supplies flow, by using asymmetric warfare tactics.
