“about 20% of the world’s oil supply passed through [the Strait of Hormuz] before the war began.”
DISPUTED
The claim states 'about 20%'. However, evidence from a web search specifically states that 'roughly 30 percent of the world’s seaborne crude oil transits the waterway', while mentioning 20% in the context of jet fuel. This creates a contradiction regarding the total oil supply percentage.

“Of the 7 million barrels per day the pipeline handles, about 2 million go to oil refineries located on Saudi Arabia’s western coast, while the remaining 5 million barrels per day are available for exports.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The provided evidence for this claim consists of search results for the number '7' and '7-Eleven', which are completely irrelevant to the oil pipeline's distribution. No relevant evidence was found to verify the 2 million/5 million split.
