Summary

Shipping through the Strait of Hormuz slowed significantly over the weekend. This decline followed attacks on tankers and stalled United States-Iran conflict resolution talks. Commodity vessel transits dropped sharply, with very few ships registered for Sunday. Shipping appeared to grind to a near standstill after UAE reported tanker attacks last week. Iran stated Washington must meet its conditions for shipping to resume.

Possibly the same underlying story as The Strait of Hormuz ‘tollway’ — flagged automatically for review, never merged automatically.
