Reports of slower traffic through Strait of Hormuz
The traffic of oil tankers transiting through the Strait of Hormuz appears to have slowed since the latest escalation between the US and Iran.
US broadcaster CNBC cited trade intelligence firm Kpler with information that thirteen oil tankers had crossed the vital waterway when compared with an average of 33 crossings the previous week.
CNBC cited Matt Smith, director of commodity research at Kpler as saying that the vessels either followed the route controlled by Iran or switched off their transponders in order to avoid being tracked as they made their way through the shipping channel.
Manwhile, the US military said that Iranian state media claims that passage through the strait was only permitted through routes designated by Iran, were false.
“Iran does not control the Strait of Hormuz. Since early May, US forces have helped facilitate the successful transit of more than 800 commercial vessels and 380 million barrels of crude oil through the vital international trade corridor,” CENTCOM said in a post on X.
The Reuters news agency also reported that liquefied natural gas tankers were transiting the strait.
According to Reuters, at least five ballast LNG tankers entered the strait in recent days, citing data from Kpler and LSEG.
The vessels include GasLog Shanghai, controlled by Greek shipping company GasLog, and QatarEnergy-linked carriers Al Samriya, Al Dafna, Al Gattara and Al Rayyan.

Iran buries former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei
Iran laid to rest its former Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei early Friday over four months after he was killed in an airstrike.
Khamenei’s flag-covered coffin was carried into the shrine of Imam Reza in his home city of Mashhad in eastern Iran as a sea of people waited outside and listened to prayers. There was no public appearance by his son and successor, Mojtaba Khamenei.
The “body of the martyred leader of the Islamic Revolution was buried in the memorial hall of the shrine of Imam Reza,” state broadcaster IRIB reported.
The burial follows a week of funeral processions, rallies and mourning. The ceremonies coincided with a new round of conflict with the United States following weeks of a truce.
