New reporting says shipping conditions in the Strait of Hormuz remained unstable on June 18. About 10 vessels, mostly oil tankers, attempted to pass through the strait but turned back near waters off Iran’s Larak Island, with several listing India as their destination. The report says Iran tightened control again after previously stating during the Lebanon-Israel ceasefire that the strait was open to merchant ships. This updates the topic with a new date, a more specific turning point near Larak Island, and renewed evidence that commercial transit remained subject to sudden restrictions.
