Data show three commodity vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, below the 10-day moving average of about 15 vessels.

MSNBC reported US Secretary of State Rubio told the outlet he is willing to meet Iranian officials on the sidelines of the UN. He said Trump is willing to meet anyone but there is currently no scheduled meeting between Trump and Iran’s president. Rubio added most ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz have not been attacked; roughly 60–70% of oil shipments have resumed and that share is rising.

SpaceXAI's Grok Bot had 418,000 weekly active users as of Sept. 14, up 24% week-on-week, after launching in mid-August, presentation materials showed. The AI agent is pitched to compete with Anthropic PBC and OpenAI and is designed to act like an around-the-clock employee rather than a chatbot—handling emails, updating sales databases, processing invoices, coordinating workflows and filing software bug reports. The user figures indicate only modest initial demand.
