## Executive Summary
Oil tankers are navigating the Strait of Hormuz despite threats from Iran's Revolutionary Guard as the UN launches an evacuation scheme.

## Intelligence Brief
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.


Future developments center on the implementation of the UN evacuation plan and the impact of these movements on oil prices, as Iran has previously told ships in the strait to turn back.
