Ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz saw a slight increase, with 10 vessels transiting on Wednesday, according to Kpler data. This follows a day of lower activity, highlighting the fragile state of maritime movement through the critical waterway.
The ongoing Iran-Oman talks aim to resolve disputes over revenue sharing and access to the strait, but progress remains slow. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump has warned Oman against cooperating with Tehran, escalating regional tensions.
Reports indicate a tanker was struck by an unknown projectile in the strait, raising concerns about security. The incident underscores the volatile environment, with both Iran and the US vying for influence.
Despite diplomatic efforts, the US continues to oppose parts of the proposed agreement, threatening military action if Oman does not align with its stance. The situation remains uncertain, with the future of Hormuz's control hanging in the balance.
