Iran Opens Hormuz to Select Vessels as Transit Rebounds
TL;DR Summary
Data from ship trackers show a small but growing number of non-Iranian ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz, with eight detected (excluding Iranian-flagged vessels) and nine total transits on a recent day—nearly doubling recent figures. Analysts say Tehran is permitting permission-based transits for friendly countries like China and India as Western-flag traffic remains suppressed amid the US–Israel war on Iran, while oil prices have surged above $100 per barrel.
