Oil tanker transit through the Strait of Hormuz was halted following Israeli
strikes on Lebanon, according to Iran’s semi-official Fars news agency. The
disruption came after a US-Iran ceasefire briefly allowed two tankers to pass
overnight. Shipping activity remained limited as operators assessed safety
conditions. The status of the waterway continues to influence energy markets,
with oil and gas prices initially falling after the ceasefire before trimming
losses following the report.
