😲 If the Strait of Hormuz is truly blocked or there are continuous attacks on oil tankers, could gasoline prices in Vietnam exceed 40,000 VND per liter in a short time 🌿🤔
An oil tanker exploded outside the Gulf of Oman on May 26, 2026 according to confirmation from UKMTO. The incident occurred at about 09:45 UTC, about 60 nautical miles east of Muscat, right in an extremely sensitive area near the Strait of Hormuz 💥
Initial information said that the explosion occurred on the left side of the rear of the ship, close to the water level. The entire crew has been confirmed to be safe and no casualties have been reported. However, bunker fuel has leaked into the sea, raising concerns about the risk of pollution and regional maritime security.
What makes the market more worried is the time of the incident. The Middle East region is heating up after a series of tensions involving the US and Iran, along with attacks on commercial ships that have appeared continuously since the beginning of 2026 until now 🚢
POTENTIAL IMPACT TABLE ON ENERGY MARKET
Impact Factor
Strait of Hormuz instability Brent oil prices increased sharply
Oil tanker attacked Marine insurance premiums increased
Bunker leak Risk of marine pollution
US - Iran tension The oil and gas supply chain is threatened

Hormuz is currently the world's most important energy transport route. Nearly 20% of global oil passes through this area every day. Just an explosion or short-term blockade is enough to cause financial, oil and gas and shipping markets to shake violently 🌍

Analysts believe that if incidents continue to escalate, Brent oil prices could completely return to the area above 130 USD per barrel. This will lead to great pressure on Vietnam's gasoline prices, transportation costs, electricity prices and global inflation 📈
Some international shipping lines have begun to raise security alert levels when passing through Hormuz. Commercial ships are required to increase observation, limit prolonged anchoring, and continuously update regional security data ⚠️
OIL PRICE SCENARIO ESTIMATION TABLE
Expected Brent Price Scenario
Tensions cool down at 85 USD/barrel
Sporadic attacks continue at 105 USD/barrel
Hormuz major disruption 130 - 160 USD/barrel
Although the official cause has not been determined, this explosion continues to show that the world's most important energy maritime route is entering a period of extremely high risk.
Information is continuing to be updated from UKMTO and Reuters.
