Iran to let no more than 15 vessels a day pass Strait of Hormuz
Iran will allow no more than 15 vessels a day to pass through the Strait of Hormuz in restrictions imposed under the ceasefire deal with the US, according to Russia’s state TASS news agency, citing an unnamed senior Iranian source.
About a fifth of world oil supplies pass through the Strait of Hormuz, which has largely been shut by Iran since the start of the war with the US and Israel began over a month ago, leading to a surge in global energy prices.
