Oil tanker passes the Strait of Hormuz despite Iran threats, as traffic flows begin to recover

Oil tankers, including the Liberian-flagged Stoic Warrior, have navigated the Strait of Hormuz using a U.N.-recommended route near Oman. These vessels defied threats from Iran and its Revolutionary Guard, which warned that ships not following Tehran-approved routes would be dealt with accordingly. This activity occurs as traffic flows begin to recover, despite continued uncertainty regarding the future of the crucial waterway. Multiple tankers successfully made their way out of the region on Thursday.
