Hormuz Strait Traffic Resumes; Iran Denies Deal
Maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is gradually recovering after a significant slowdown in mid-July, with five ships passing through in the past 24 hours and another five ships currently in transit, while around 350 vessels are awaiting clearance to proceed. Despite this improvement, activity remains below normal levels, with limited flow of oil and shipping ships. The number of vessels in the Gulf has stabilized at approximately 4,259 ships. On another note, Iran denied any agreement to permanently open the strait, confirming that passage requires prior authorization and coordination with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy. This came after reports of Iran's approval of a settlement mediated by Qatar and the United States, which prompted the Trump administration to delay a planned military strike against Iran.
