Iran will allow no more than 15 ships per day to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, according to the ceasefire agreement it reached with the United States, a senior unnamed Iranian official told the Russian state news agency TASS.
The Strait of Hormuz, a narrow 34-kilometer-wide waterway between Iran and Oman, connects the Persian Gulf to the Indian Ocean and serves as the main route for roughly one-fifth of global oil and essential goods shipments, including fertilizers, reports The Guardian via Gazeta Express.
Since the outbreak of the conflict in late February, Iran has largely restricted passage through the strait, contributing to a sharp increase in global oil prices.
