diesel needs to get refined and it's not coming out of the Strait of Hormuz fast enough to get to the refineries, to get to the farmers, to get to the truckers

Overstated

Why this verdict View evidenceHide evidence
Why we checked itThe claim implies diesel or crude oil supply through the Strait of Hormuz is insufficient to meet U.S. refinery demand, which is a specific and verifiable assertion about energy supply chains that could mislead voters about the necessity of buying diesel from Russia.
What we foundThe core concern — that diesel is in short supply and farmers and truckers are suffering — is well-supported, but the specific framing that diesel is 'not coming out of the Strait of Hormuz fast enough' overstates Hormuz as the singular bottleneck, when the primary constraint by October 2026 was regional refinery damage plus Russian and Chinese supply disruptions, not Strait transit volume alone.
