"President Trump accused Iran of 'doing a very poor job, dishonorable some would say, of allowing Oil to go through the Strait of Hormuz' and emphasized that 'That is not the agreement we have!'"
"Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains at a virtual standstill, with Iranian state media reporting that the strait has been closed to '99% of ships' following Israeli attacks on Lebanon."
"According to Lloyd's List Intelligence, all ships that have passed through the strait since Monday are linked to Iran, with traffic down 90 percent and 600 cargo vessels trapped."
"Diplomatic negotiations to end the war are set to take place in Islamabad, with Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif engaging in discussions with world leaders ahead of the talks."
The ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran faces significant challenges as shipping through the Strait of Hormuz is effectively blocked. President Trump criticized Iran for not allowing oil passage, stating it violates their agreement. The price of Brent crude rose nearly 2 percent, while shipping traffic remains 90 percent below normal levels. Diplomatic talks are scheduled in Islamabad, with heightened security measures in place. The situation is exacerbated by Israeli attacks on Lebanon, leading to a virtual standstill in maritime traffic.
