Ship transits through Hormuz decrease
Shipping activity in the Strait of Hormuz declined significantly over the past week, with the number of transits dropping from 15 to 6 during the weekend, despite efforts by Iran and Oman to reach an agreement to open the passage. Iran issued financial and political demands, including ending the American blockade and removing troops from surrounding areas, to facilitate opening the strait through which approximately one-fifth of the world's oil passes. Conversely, maritime traffic through the Bab el-Mandeb Strait saw a notable increase, with 116 transits recorded, despite growing concerns over the Houthis' potential targeting of ships in the region.
