- Iranian authorities have implemented a strict cap of approximately fifteen vessels per day for transit through the Strait of Hormuz as part of a fragile two-week ceasefire deal.
- All transiting ships are now required to obtain direct permission from the Iranian Sepah navy and follow specific alternative routes to avoid naval mines deployed during the conflict.
- Maritime intelligence reports indicate that actual traffic remains significantly below pre-war levels of 150 ships per day, with only eleven vessels recorded transiting in the first 24 hours of the truce.
- The agreement includes a controversial proposal for Iran to charge a 2 million dollar fee per ship for safe passage, a move condemned by international leaders as unacceptable.
- Global energy markets remain volatile as shippers seek further clarity on safety protocols before resuming full-scale operations through the strategic waterway.
