Hormuz Strait Reopens to Busy Trade After US-Iran Deal
TL;DR Summary
Since the US-Iran deal aimed at ending the conflict, the Strait of Hormuz has seen renewed shipping, with 172 vessels crossing and 42 on Saturday; more than 200 tankers remain waiting inside the strait as sanctions relief allows Iranian crude sales for 60 days. Traffic includes both resumed normal trade and some previously sanctioned tankers and LNG shipments, but overall crossings are still well below the pre-war daily average. The transit regime is being enforced by Iran’s PGSA with permit requirements, and mine concerns plus conflicting statements about the strait’s status continue to influence route choices and caution.
