What happened
Oil tankers are continuing to transit the Strait of Hormuz and exit the Persian Gulf despite threats from Iran's Revolutionary Guard. While some ships appeared to U-turn while attempting to exit via an Oman route, others are moving through as traffic slowly increases and oil prices decline.
Coverage from Reuters, The New York Times, and the BBC emphasizes a UN-led evacuation scheme to assist sailors stranded in the region. According to the Wall Street Journal and Allianz, approximately $125 billion in vessels and cargo remain stranded in the Persian Gulf.
