NYT: The US and Iran agreed to open the Strait of Hormuz
The details of the agreements, as well as the timing of the resumption of shipping and the reduction of energy prices, are unknown. According to experts' forecasts, a rapid drop in oil prices will not occur, writes NYT.
At the same time, according to Reuters, tankers with liquefied natural gas and a supertanker with Iraqi crude oil left the Strait of Hormuz and are headed for Pakistan and China after almost three months of forced downtime.
Among them is the tanker Eagle Verona, one of seven vessels for which Malaysia has requested transit permission from Iran. Since then, five of these vessels have left the waterway, while two more remain in the Persian Gulf.
Before the war, shipping traffic through the strait averaged 125 to 140 ship passages per day. Currently, about 20,000 sailors remain stranded in the Persian Gulf on board hundreds of ships. #iran #oil #Hormuz $BZ
