Summary

Almost six months into the U.S./ Israel war with Iran, the state of the Strait of Hormuz is still constrained. Ambrey has alerted another tanker aborted its transit through the Strait of Hormuz after two explosions were reported 37 NM southwest of Bandar-e-Jask, Iran.

Possibly the same underlying story as The New Old Middle East — flagged automatically for review, never merged automatically.
