Increased Oil Tanker Traffic Through Hormuz Amid US-Iran Tensions
Commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz has seen a modest increase, with at least two non-Iranian supertankers exiting the Persian Gulf. This marks the first time in a week that significant volumes of unsanctioned crude have crossed the waterway. The recent uptick in traffic comes amid ongoing military exchanges between the US and Iran, with both sides engaging in preemptive strikes and defensive measures. Despite these tensions, shipping flows have continued, albeit with disruptions and challenges in tracking vessel movements.
