Iran closes Strait of Hormuz disrupting Iraqi oil ships
There has been a significant decline in maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz following Iran's announcement of the re-closure of the waterway. Only five ships passed through yesterday, compared to 26 ships the day before. A statement from Klausuler indicated that among the ships that left the strait were Iraqi oil tankers and giant vessels carrying millions of barrels of Saudi, Emirati, and Kuwaiti crude oil, while 13 other ships entered the strait. Iran had temporarily opened the strait last week after an agreement with the United States to extend a ceasefire for 60 days. However, the Revolutionary Guard announced its re-closure in response to the Israeli aggression on Lebanon.
