AI Summary

Tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz fell to a five‑week low on Sunday, with only six vessels recorded by Kpler as transiting the chokepoint. The dip followed a third wave of U.S. strikes on Iran and Iran’s retaliation against U.S. bases in Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman, and Jordan. The incident heightened safety concerns among ship operators at the key oil and LNG passage. The low count reflects the heightened tension in the region.
