Is there a good tracker of strategic oil reserves? (lemmy.zip)

Now that the Iran conflict is heating up again, one thing I'm surprised doesn't get talked about is where the oil reserves are at and where they are heading. Flow through the straits has been restricted for a long time, and once reserves get low enough it's going to make a big mess of the economy, but somehow markets are ignoring it and no one is talking about it?

Interesting site, thanks. I can't find it showing current reserve levels however, under countries/regions it has comments like Strategic reserves ~90 days (for EU), but I can't see anything about the current status
