Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has increased, reaching the highest weekly average since the war began.

Bloomberg data shows 13 ships crossed since Friday morning, 10 exiting the Gulf and three entering, including LPG carriers headed to India and vessels with Iranian or Chinese links. Iran is directing ships through a northern passage near its islands of Larak and Qeshm and has set up a tolling system.

Some vessels turn off tracking signals in high-risk waters, making monitoring difficult. Recent crossings include a French container ship and a Japanese LNG tanker, possibly linked to diplomatic negotiations.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi assured that non-hostile ships can transit Straite of Hormuz safely after coordinating with Iran.

According to reports, U.S. President Donald Trump has said he gave Iran ten days to open the Strait of Hormuz, a deadline that is nearing its end, and now Iran has only 48 hours to open the strait.

He added: “You remember I gave Iran ten days to reach an agreement or open the Strait of Hormuz, and the time is running out.”

He said that if Iran does not accept Washington’s request, serious actions will be taken against it.

Following joint attacks by the United States and Israel on Iran, Iran launched missile attacks on Israel and U.S. military bases and centers in the region, and in another action, blocked the Strait of Hormuz to the passage of U.S. and its allies' ships.

د راپورونو له مخې، د امریکا ولسمشر ډونالډ ټرمپ ویلي، ایران ته یې د هرمز تنګي پرانیستلو لپاره ۱۰ ورځې مهلت ورکړی و چې د پای ته رسېدو په حال کې دی او اوس ایران یوازې ۴۸ ساعته وخت لري چې دا تنګی پرانیزي.

نوموړي زیاته کړې: «په یاد مو دي ما ایران ته د توافق ترلاسه کېدو یا هرمز تنګي د پرانیستلو لپاره لس ورځې وخت ورکړی و، وخت د پای ته رسېدو په حال کې دی.»

هغه ویلي، که ایران د واشنګنټن دا غوښتنې ونه مني، پر وړاندې به یې جدي اقدامات ترسره کړي.

پر ایران د امریکا او سراییلو له ګډو بریدونو وروسته، ایران پر اسراییلو او په سیمه کې د امریکا پر پوځي اډو او مرکزونو توغندیز بریدونه پیل کړل او په بل اقدام کې یې هرمز تنګی د امریکا او د هغې د متحدینو د کښتیو تېرېدو پرمخ بند کړ.

Breaking🇮🇶: Iran announces a “special gift” to Iraq, allowing its crude to pass through the Strait of #Hormuz.

The official spokesperson of #Iran’s Khatam Al-Anbiya Ebrahim Zolfaghari, said Iraq is exempt from any restrictions on passage through Hormuz.

But the timing says more than the statement itself. 🧵

(1) Until yesterday, Iraqi officials were scrambling for alternative crude export outlets, rerouting north (#Ceyhan) and trucking west (#Syria), while losing billions in revenues.

Now suddenly, Baghdad is “gifted” an exemption.

(2) Iraq has been the hardest hit by Iran’s Hormuz closure:

• Monthly revenues fell from ~$6.8bn in February to ~$1.9bn in March
• This left #Baghdad with a ~5 trillion Iraqi dinar gap just to pay salaries in a country with near-total dependence on oil revenues

(3) This isn’t just about Iraq.

Iraqi oil revenues remain a key source of dollar liquidity, including for Tehran itself.

At the same time, Iran-aligned Iraqi militias, some now reportedly operating in Iran, depend on that same financial ecosystem.

(4) Iraq has shut in many of its oil fields, with production falling from around 4.4mn b/d , including from the KRG, prior to the war, to around 900,000–950,000 b/d now, according to @[email protected] estimates.

Monitoring Iraq’s production and tanker movements will be key.
