Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz slowed sharply at the start of the week following attacks on oil tankers, as US-Iran talks aimed at resolving the conflict in the Middle East stalled, according to Reuters.
Ship-tracking data from Kpler showed that only five commodity vessels passed through the strait on Saturday, while none were recorded on Sunday, compared with 31 vessels over the previous weekend, Reuters added.
An Iranian official earlier said the United States had suffered major strategic losses during the latest military confrontations, stressing that the Strait of Hormuz would remain under Iranian control.
Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s deputy foreign minister, stated that the United States has sustained significant strategic losses, urging Washington to accept this reality and abandon its illusions. He warned that failure to do so would result in Iran continuing to enforce the naval blockade.

Iran’s deputy foreign minister said Wednesday that Iran and Oman have reached an understanding on nearly all issues on future Strait of Hormuz arrangements, adding that a final understanding is “on the verge of being finalized.”
Their understanding includes the location of entry and exit routes for maritime traffic, Kazem Gharibabadi said in remarks carried by Iran’s state-run news agency IRNA.
He added, however, that “this understanding does not mean the complete opening of the Strait of Hormuz.”
It represents “rather a new and different model from the past 60-year practice,” he said.
“In order to enter a second phase, Iran needs to assess whether the US is truly prepared to return to its commitments or not,” he said.
Iran’s ongoing talks with Oman are also focused on “future administration arrangements” aimed at defining a long-term framework for managing the Strait of Hormuz, he added.
