The Iranian navy statement, quoted by state media, said that an oil tanker sailing east of the Strait of Hormuz was damaged and caught fire while trying to traverse a “restricted” area after having deactivated its tracking systems. The statement noted that the tanker in question had been detected by the Iranian navy, but no information was provided regarding how the vessel sustained the damage. The statement further indicated that the Iranian navy has adopted a “new deployment posture” in the regions east of the Strait of Hormuz, as well as in the Gulf of Oman and the Arabian Sea, and is monitoring maritime traffic and the activities of foreign entities “continuously and in real-time”. Additionally, a call was issued to all vessels in the region to keep their electronic systems active in accordance with international regulations and to coordinate with the Iranian army to ensure safe passage, the statement said.https://aje.news/nmma9k?update=50440720.00502026-10-13T15:47:12.148535+00:005aljazeera.comirannavyhormuz2623https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Breaking-1699362877.svg?fit=86%2C20&quality=80Houthi2026-10-13T15:47:13.574665+00:002795<p>Hormozgan Ports and Maritime Organisation has reported the export of more than five million tonnes of petroleum products from Shahid Rajaee, Iran’s largest commercial port, in the first half of 2026.</p>https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/10/13/iran-war-live-trump-says-houthis-misbehaving-as-riyadh-flights-halted?update=50428880.00302026-10-13T10:28:11.729686+00:005aljazeera.comiranoilhormuz2794@ABaradezAlexandre Baradez<p>Source: Alexandre Baradez (X)</p>https://x.com/ABaradez/status/21099204272714302370.00502026-10-13T10:21:40.868115+00:002x.comhormuziran2610https://pbs.twimg.com/media/HUfxF_rX0AAQR6f?format=jpg&name=smallImage2026-10-13T10:21:41.924239+00:002746A supertanker following an unauthorised route in the Strait of Hormuz was hit this morning, according to the IRGC Navy, which added that it was the third vessel struck in the waterway in the last two days. “Like previous offenders, this tanker – having deactivated its navigation system and ignored warnings from the IRGC Navy – intended to exit the Strait of Hormuz and disrupt its order and security,” a statement quoted by Iran’s state-run media said. “Consequently, it was struck.”https://aje.news/054l75?update=50407370.00502026-10-12T14:11:42.356872+00:005aljazeera.comirgcsupertankerhormuz2564https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Breaking-1699362877.svg?fit=86%2C20&quality=80Houthi2026-10-12T14:11:44.152890+00:002705<p>Source: aljazeera</p>https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/10/11/hormuz-attacks-intensify-as-efforts-to-end-war-on-iran-stall0.00402026-10-12T05:21:34.730954+00:005aljazeera.comiranirgchormuz2682IRGC warns against ignoring waterway’s ‘security and rules’ as CENTCOM says US disabled vessel trying to run blockade.https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/10/11/hormuz-attacks-intensify-as-efforts-to-end-war-on-iran-stall0.00502026-10-11T19:25:41.186170+00:005aljazeera.comiranblockadehormuz2501https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-09-16T054444Z_1957483145_RC2PJNADDY53_RTRMADP_3_IRAN-CRISIS-1791720638.jpgt2026-10-11T19:25:43.289436+00:002681<p>A tanker heading outbound through the Strait of Hormuz has been struck on its port side by an unidentified projectile, the United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) agency is reporting.

Speaking to Iran’s Fars news agency, Mohammadi said the IRGC Navy had maintained “complete and absolute” surveillance of the strait since the first day of the war and would continue both offensive and defensive operations. He also rejected figures cited by US President Donald Trump and media outlets about the amount of oil passing through Hormuz, saying estimates of three million to eight million barrels were “incorrect”. According to Mohammadi, those figures amounted to “media speculation” aimed at lowering oil prices and influencing the market. He added that the IRGC Navy could impose its will “at any point” in the Strait of Hormuz on vessels it considers to be in violation, and accused the United States of creating insecurity in the Gulf and the wider region.https://aje.news/ws3jvj0.00602026-10-09T05:36:07.469767+00:005aljazeera.comiranhormuzirgc2310https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/reuters_6aa48f52-1789169490.jpg?w=770&resize=770,433&quality=80Vessels near the Strait of Hormuz, as seen from Musandam, Oman, on September 2, 20262026-10-09T05:36:09.417650+00:002467Nabil al-Yousefi<p>Reporting from Sanaa, Yemen Iraq has devalued its currency by 15 percent – the biggest adjustment since 2020.

The fall follows a record number of attacks on tankers since the start of the US-Israel war on Iran in February. Seven commodity vessels passed through the strait on Tuesday, the lowest figure since July 23, Kpler data showed. “Crude crossing the strait fell 27 percent from a wartime high the week before, to at least 10.1 million barrels a day,” Kpler analysts Emmanuel Belostrino and Yui Torikata reported. “That is back to its September average, but 74 percent of its pre-war level.” The number of vessels transiting the strait edged up to 10 on Wednesday, but was well short of the daily tally of more than 20 on Sunday and Monday, the data showed. More vessels entered the strait than exited in the past two days.https://aje.news/5iov8c0.00602026-10-08T04:45:23.219237+00:005aljazeera.comshippingtankerhormuz2234https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/2026-10-05T010924Z_2036293932_RC2UUNAUVBOR_RTRMADP_3_IRAN-CRISIS-SHIPPING-1791432207.jpg?w=770&resize=770,433&quality=80Vessels in the Strait of Hormuz, as seen from Musandam, Oman [File: Reuters]2026-10-08T04:45:24.162122+00:002420@SinaToossiSina Toossi<p>Extraordinary account from Bloomberg of what it now takes to move oil through Hormuz.

Gulf oil flows, excluding Iran, recovered to more than 81 percent of pre-war levels in September, while crude exports from the wider Middle East exceeded pre-war levels on 14 days during the month, maritime intelligence firm Kpler reported. However, the recovery has come as attacks on tankers increase and shipping companies face higher freight, insurance and security costs. So, how are ships getting through the strait, and how long can producers maintain the increased flow through one of the world’s most important energy corridors while attacks and harassment of ships continue?https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/10/7/iran-war-live-yemen-forces-claim-control-over-strategic-taiz-mountain-peak0.01002026-10-07T04:26:59.127489+00:005aljazeera.comshippingoilhormuz2181https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/explainer-1699362886.svg?fit=109,20&quality=80Explainer2026-10-07T04:27:00.420025+00:002182https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/getty_6ab52cdea8-1790258398.jpg?w=770&resize=770,513&quality=80An oil products tanker is anchored in the Strait of Hormuz off the coast of Bandar Abbas, Iran, on August 10, 20262026-10-07T04:27:02.185978+00:002357<p>The scramble is on for diesel, while damaged refineries and tight fuel supplies keep prices elevated around the world.</p>https://www.wsj.com/0.00402026-10-06T13:57:27.107074+00:0023wsj.comhormuzrefineriesoil2175IMAGE/media/content/2357/image.pngimage.pngpng2026-10-06T13:58:02.612528+00:002351<p>UK Maritime Trade Operations has said that it has received a late report of an ‘unknown projectile’ hitting a vessel transiting the Strait of Hormuz.

Michelle Brohard, head of policy and geopolitical risk at Kpler, recently said some countries could be paying Iran for passage through the Strait of Hormuz. “I suspect there is a toll that’s being paid, which is giving these ships safe passage,” she said in an interview last week with energy analyst Rory Johnston. “I also suspect that these countries know that this is unsustainable from a perspective of [the] US escorting [ships], and also unsustainable from them paying Iran 10 percent of their cargo, or 20 percent of their cargo.” Speaking to Al Jazeera, academic Abdul Khalique said while Brohard’s speculation that a transit-fee arrangement has been put in place may be “plausible”, it is best described as an “informal security mechanism rather than a formal maritime levy”. “No public proof confirms a systematic, state-run Iranian toll system,” said Khalique, head of the Liverpool John Moores University Maritime Centre.

He insisted in a televised interview that the Strait of Hormuz remained under Iran’s control and said the IRGC Navy has warned ships using the US-supervised southern route in the waterway that “their vessels may be targeted at any point”. Fadavi added that only three to four million barrels of oil per day are now moving through the route, which hugs the coast of Oman, and dismissed the amount as “negligible” when compared with pre-war traffic. He also rejected US threats of military action, saying Washington failed in Afghanistan and Iraq and will fail again. The comments came amid reports that crude oil exports from the Middle East have risen to pre-war levels, with countries exporting an average of 18.5 million bpd in the last week of September, using transits via the Strait of Hormuz and the Red Sea, as well as exports from terminals and ship-to-ship transfers in the Gulf of Oman.https://aje.news/x7vu51?update=50173670.00502026-10-05T05:02:38.008849+00:005aljazeera.comiranoilhormuz2190The UK’s Maritime Trade Operations shipping monitor says a vessel has been struck by an “unknown projectile” in the Strait of Hormuz.

Countries most dependent on fertiliser supplies from the Gulf are among the world’s most vulnerable economies, he noted, citing Sudan, Somalia, Mozambique, and Tanzania as examples. The Hormuz crisis has already triggered a sharp increase in fertiliser prices and a decline in its use – developments that could reduce agricultural productivity and worsen food insecurity, Moreira da Silva said. “We need seven days to put the monitors on the ground to ensure the transit of fertilisers … We are ready, but we are still dependent on the political will of the parties.”</p>https://aje.news/ckzmrg0.00702026-10-01T15:23:14.961647+00:005aljazeera.comhormuzfertiliserfood-security1880https://cf-images.eu-west-1.prod.boltdns.net/v1/static/665003303001/ff2a2ea0-6c2d-4483-919b-ab9d05775007/7c04d297-3c09-4e4f-a6f6-1cb6523485c4/1920x1080/match/image.jpg2026-10-01T15:23:16.751146+00:002015@SStapczynskiStephen Stapczynski<p>LNG shipments exiting the Strait of Hormuz have reached the highest level since the war began … but still remain far below pre-war levels.

According to the latest data from tanker-tracker websites, traffic through the key waterway has been steadily increasing, with some estimates putting oil and petroleum flow through Hormuz at nearly 80 percent of what it was before the US-Israeli war on Iran began on February 28. This could dent Iran’s leverage in reaching a favourable deal for itself in its attempts to end the fighting, which has seriously hampered its already heavily sanctioned economy, during the US blockade of Iranian ships and ports.

Daily confirmed oil flows varied sharply from September 24-27, ranging from about 6.5 million to 12.6 million barrels.

This would bring the total count to SEVEN over the past eight days hit by Iran. This comes immediately on the heels of the UN General Assembly that saw “indirect” meetings between the United States and Iran that resulted likely in minimal progress. As the Saudi East-West Pipeline remains at limited capacity for the next several weeks, and as the U.S. midterms approach in November, we should expect to see increased efforts by Iran to strike vessels attempting to navigate along the Omani Route under Project Freedom. Despite Trump’s “Tanker for Tanker” policy, it is increasingly clear that Trump is desperately trying to avoid escalation at all costs.

One crew member has been killed and another injured, according to maritime security reporting. UKMTO says the vessel is now on fire and adrift, and that the entire crew has been evacuated. The attack occurred at approximately 06:30 UTC during an outbound transit, around 5 nautical miles north of Kumzar, Oman. According to Lloyd’s List, Cape Dao had not been broadcasting its AIS position for several weeks and was not on the Persian Gulf Strait Authority’s list of vessels deemed “non-compliant.” The incident follows overnight reports from regional monitoring sources of Iranian anti-ship cruise-missile launches from southern Iran toward vessels in the Strait of Hormuz. The weapon that struck Cape Dao, and responsibility for the attack, have not yet been independently established. The attack comes less than a day after U.S. and Iranian representatives met for three hours in New York, where Tehran presented conditions for ending the war and reopening the Strait of Hormuz. https://x.com/mhmiranusa/status/2102767602065920129https://x.com/thetect0nic/status/21027729882987933730.00502026-09-23T15:55:07.005816+00:002x.commaritimehormuzbreaking1308IMAGE/media/content/1489/image.pngimage.pngpng2026-09-23T15:55:54.792106+00:001398French President Emmanuel Macron has told US media that he does not “want to engage in a confrontation with any country, but we are ready to be more engaged in order to protect some capacities in order to make this transit possible”, regarding the Strait of Hormuz. In an interview with ABC News, Macron said that the “main objective” of his meeting with US President Donald Trump was “to find the right deal in order to open” the vital waterway and address the escalating global energy crisis. He criticised the US decision to go to war in the first place, saying that “regime change by bombing a country is not something I think feasible”. He added that “it doesn’t work. And we did this mistake several times in the past decades”. Regarding the decision not to assist the US earlier, Macron noted that “when you want to engage people, you strategise with them, and you ask them before launching a war, and we decided not to join this war because we considered, and I still consider, it was not the right option”.https://aje.news/st3yz30.00702026-09-23T05:31:16.964907+00:005aljazeera.comusfrancehormuz1225https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/afp_6aad55375b47-1789744439.jpg?w=770&resize=770,513&quality=80France's President Emmanuel Macron looks on as he addresses the audience during a press conference following a meeting with candidates for the 2027 presidential election and party leaders focused on the geopolitical situation and its consequences, at the presidential Elysee Palace in Paris on September 18, 2026.2026-09-23T05:31:18.930917+00:001383@DryBulkETFBreakWaveTEHRAN - Iran has offered to reopen the Strait of Hormuz within seven days if the United States takes initial steps toward easing military pressure, a senior Iranian government official told Kyodo News on Tuesday, as part of Tehran's ramped-up efforts to revive negotiations with Washington.https://x.com/DryBulkETF/status/21023233293192479850.00402026-09-22T15:36:31.860126+00:002x.comiranhormuzunited-states1313Oil Minister Bassem Mohammad Khadeer says the majority of oil tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz belong to Iraq.

At the beginning of September, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said “at least 10 million barrels” were passing through the strait each day.

It said the data shows “single-digit numbers transiting in both directions”, while figures from the US Naval Cooperation and Guidance for Shipping indicate traffic has averaged more than 30 transits a day over the past 72 hours. Either way, the UKMTO said traffic remains below pre-war levels, and its threat level for the region remains “severe”, with persistent attacks, attempted attacks and harassment by Iran. It said that at least three attacks were reported in the last 72 hours, with one attack on September 18 that caused a fire on board a tanker. “These actions continue to demonstrate Iran’s intent to assert presence along key transit lanes and maintain pressure on transiting vessels,” it said. The UKMTO added that traffic through the Bab al-Mandeb Strait and southern Red Sea has also remained at “reduced levels” since July, but said no new attacks have been reported in the last few days.https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/9/21/iran-war-live-tehran-warns-us-against-new-strikes-fighting-rages-in-yemen?update=49698440.00602026-09-21T05:00:01.199945+00:005aljazeera.comhormuzconflictukmto1237Qatar’s Energy Minister and CEO of QatarEnergy says the state-run energy company is producing a “very minute” amount of LNG and the country could resume normal gas production a few weeks after the Strait of Hormuz is reopened.

The United States said it struck and destroyed three Iranian oil tankers on September 5 in response to attempted missile attacks on naval vessels, in the latest exchange of fire since renewed hostilities flared between the foes. The new clashes, which began with US raids last week, come with both sides deadlocked in the six-month war as Iran keeps a stranglehold on the Strait of Hormuz and Washington presses its counter-blockade of Iranian ports.

Citing preliminary figures, Reuters said that a total of four vessels transited the waterway, with two exiting and two entering. The data is preliminary and subject to updates, as no very large crude carriers or liquefied natural gas tankers were involved, and some vessels navigate the passage with their transponders switched off, meaning they are excluded from the official counts. The figures fall well short of the 10-day average of 18.https://aje.news/k6nock0.00802026-09-16T05:20:03.442351+00:005aljazeera.comshippingreutershormuz654https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/2026-09-15T202734Z_528342497_RC2PJNADDY53_RTRMADP_3_IRAN-CRISIS-1789511302.jpgA still image from handout video released on September 15, 2026, said to show the damaged Panamanian-flagged oil tanker El Gaia following an incident in the Strait of Hormuz2026-09-16T05:20:04.131616+00:00764Vessel transits through the Strait of Hormuz fell to four on Tuesday, well below the 10-day average of 18, preliminary shipping data cited by Reuters shows.https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/9/16/iran-war-live-irans-top-diplomat-heads-to-china-as-war-drags-on?update=49547990.00132026-09-16T05:08:38.302647+00:005aljazeera.comshippingmaritimehormuz711@Osint613Open Source IntelSaudi Arabia is seeking to further boost oil supply through the Strait of Hormuz after attacks forced it to halt a key pipeline that had been its main means of getting crude to global markets during the Iran war.

In a statement, the Bahraini government said any proposal on navigation in the crucial strait must involve the participation of all Gulf Cooperation Council states. “Any arrangement regarding navigation in the Strait of Hormuz must be based on the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea and endorsed by the International Maritime Organization,” it said, also condemning Houthi attacks targeting Saudi Arabia. Bahrain has said it will not participate in an Iran planned meeting on control over the Strait of Hormuz that was planned for Monday in Oman but was cancelled.

Iranians having been through all of this, they will not allow military ships, armed forces associated with the United States or Israel to continue to pass through the Strait freely.” Barakat said. He said Arab states have to compromise as they face many risks as markets adapt to disruption in the Strait of Hormuz and other waterways. “The Arab states have got to accept some kind of new arrangement, they have to have a degree of compromise, because ultimately it is them who are paying the highest price. 90% of their exports aren’t going anywhere, the international market isn’t waiting for them to recover and to reconnect. They are already finding alternatives on a daily basis, although the prices went up, there has not been a real critical crisis of supplies in the international markets until now” Barakat added.https://aje.news/jm4ix20.00602026-09-14T11:45:56.003642+00:005aljazeera.comhormuzeconomyarab-states583https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/Analysis-1699362873.svgAnalysis2026-09-14T11:45:58.034509+00:00659Oman says a planned regional meeting between Gulf states and Iran regarding control over the Strait of Hormuz has been postponed in the “interests of consensus”.https://www.aljazeera.com/economy/2026/8/26/top-official-says-iran-oman-have-agreed-new-temporary-hormuz-route0.00182026-09-14T08:47:46.863989+00:005aljazeera.comgulf-statesomanhormuz645Iran’s foreign ministry spokesman says Oman and Iran “have taken a joint decision aimed at arriving at a responsible” approach to the management of the Strait of Hormuz.

Here’s what we know: Kazem Gharibabadi, Iran’s deputy foreign minister for legal and international affairs, said in late August that Iran and Oman had agreed that the new route’s entry “would be through our territorial waters, and part of the exit route would also be through our territorial waters”. The transit corridor is temporary and would be 11.3km (7 miles) wide, he said. But key details remain unclear, including the precise coordinates of the route, when ships can start traversing the strait safely, and how revenues would be generated. Specific operational protocols are also not known yet, such as whether any vessels or flags will be barred from using the route. Gharibabadi has also said that the strait will not open despite the agreement and has called on the US to fulfil its commitments under an interim peace deal signed in June, including sanctions relief and the release of frozen Iranian assets.https://aje.news/ma20i9?update=49245520.00602026-09-07T04:18:47.328986+00:005aljazeera.comiranomanhormuz415https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/explainer-1699362886.svgExplainer2026-09-07T04:18:47.752233+00:00451Iran’s top security official, Mohsen Rezaei, says Tehran will declare a restricted zone near the Strait of Hormuz and announce a new shipping route agreed on with Oman for the waterway “in the coming days”.https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/9/7/iran-war-live-tehran-to-announce-new-hormuz-shipping-route-in-coming-days0.00202026-09-07T04:14:29.088529+00:005aljazeera.comiranshippinghormuz324Stephen QuillenThe United States and Iran continue to make competing claims about who has greater control of the critical Strait of Hormuz in the Gulf. Washington insists the strait remains open, with dozens of vessels transporting millions of barrels of crude daily. Last month, US President Donald Trump claimed “total control” over the corridor, a route that normally carries a fifth of global petroleum and gas supplies in peacetime. Yet the passage has stayed shut since the joint US-Israel war on Iran erupted six months ago. Tehran maintains it commands the waterway, keeping it shut to all but pre-cleared ships navigating prescribed lanes. Any unauthorised traffic, it cautions, remains liable to attack. So what is really going on in the strait – and what explains the divergent accounts?https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/9/4/iran-war-live-us-rules-out-iran-talks-until-ship-attacks-stop0.00802026-09-04T05:45:53.834881+00:005aljazeera.comoilhormuzexplainer297https://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/INTERACTIVE-MIDDLE-EAST-iran-hormuz-shipping-aug-27-2026-1787815800-1788488337.webp[Al Jazeera]2026-09-04T05:45:54.811528+00:00217@DropSiteNewsDrop Site🛢️ Hormuz Strait Tracker’s latest estimate puts crude and refined-product flows through the Strait of Hormuz at just 4.8 million barrels per day over the seven days ending Aug. 30, around 22% of the normal 21.6 mb/d, according to creator ➤ Estimated daily flows approximately: Aug. 24: ~1.1 mbpd Aug. 25: ~4.6 mbpd Aug. 26: ~5.6 mbpd Aug. 27: ~6.1 mbpd Aug. 28: ~1.6 mbpd Aug. 29: ~3.1 mbpd Aug. 30: 11.5 mbpd So despite Sunday’s sharp jump to 11.5 mb/d, the weekly average remains deeply depressed. ➤ The tracker uses MarineTraffic AIS data and subtracts known Fujairah and Oman exports from observed Gulf of Oman exits to estimate actual Hormuz flows. @phileepos cautioned that the 4.8 mb/d figure could ultimately rise by roughly 1 mb/d as tankers that crossed with AIS switched off are identified later. ➤ For comparison, Vortexa chief economist David Wech recently put its 28-day average near 6.5 mb/d; its 7-day measure had at one point approached 9 mb/d, with one day reaching roughly 15 million barrels.
