Shipping data showed that traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remained low over the weekend. The figures came as the United States and Iran intensified attacks in the Middle East. Fewer tankers entered the waterway to load oil, while floating storage of liquefied natural gas increased. The movements point to continuing disruption in energy shipping amid the escalating attacks.

The US military says it has launched fresh strikes on Iran. CENTCOM says the attacks are intended to degrade Iranian capabilities used against commercial vessels and civilian mariners in the Strait of Hormuz.
