Stable maritime traffic amid US-Iran talks
Maritime traffic through the Bab al-Mandab and Hormuz Straits—two of the most important energy trade passages—remained stable during the current week, despite ongoing uncertainties surrounding talks between Washington and Tehran regarding the nuclear deal and potential negotiations between the two countries. Data from Kubler showed that the number of vessels passing through the two straits did not vary much from previous days, with most ships remaining active. However, there is continued security tension due to Houthi threats to target ships, which has led some oil tankers to reroute toward the Gulf of Aden and South Africa. At the same time, the prospects for Iranian-American dialogue remain unclear, with Iran denying that any negotiations are underway, amid rising concerns over potential disruptions to global energy supplies.
