Strait of Hormuz by considering permanent taxes and fees, with parliament moving to formalize fees on vessels passing through, per the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.
Someone or some group bought large amounts of stock index futures and sold off large amounts of oil futures just 15 minutes before President Trump posted online that he was halting planned strikes on Iranian power plants. Whoever made the bet “likely” (?) walked away with a massive profit.
Iran is allowing only "non-hostile" foreign vessels to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, strictly defining them as ships not supporting acts of aggression against Iran and not affiliated with the United States or Israel. Eligible ships must coordinate with Iranian authorities and comply with specific safety and security regulations.
The New York Times +2Key details regarding permitted shipping:
- Restricted Access: Vessels linked to the U.S. and Israel are banned.
- Allowed Vessels: Non-hostile ships from countries like India, China, Thailand, and others (e.g., Greece) have been able to pass after engagement with Tehran.
- Conditions: Iran is enforcing strict monitoring and, in some reports, requiring a "toll" or payment for safe passage, Seatrade Maritime News reports.
- Traffic Status: Total traffic has dropped significantly, by roughly 95%, from pre-conflict levels.
- Compliance: Successful passage generally involves ships following strict instructions from Iranian authorities.
