On July 29, the oil product tanker Mercer Street was victim of a deadly drone attack, while a few days later another tanker, the Asphalt Princess, was reportedly hijacked.

In this episode of the Oil Markets Podcast, S&P Global Platts Senior Editor Eklavya Gupte and Associate Editorial Director of EMEA Clean Refined Products Francesco Di Salvo discuss the latest drama unfolding in the Middle East.
