As the 60-day ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran teeters, oil tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has essentially ground to a halt. Jorge Leon, head of geopolitical analysis at research firm Rystad, stated: "As of today, traffic appears to have completely halted." This "near-stagnation" reflects current risk perceptions more accurately than any statement from Washington or Tehran. According to Kpler data, only four tankers have transited the strait so far today. Naveen Das, a senior oil analyst at Kpler, noted that since the U.S. and Iran reached their 60-day ceasefire on June 17, an average of roughly 32 tankers have transited the strait daily. That figure is nearly three times the average daily traffic between the February outbreak of hostilities and the June 17 ceasefire, though it remains far below pre-conflict levels.

U.S. President Donald Trump said the United States would destroy Iran's power and water facilities if necessary, but currently "does not want to do so". Trump added that the U.S. has not yet launched the highest-level attacks, such as targeting bridges, noting that "if necessary, we will destroy higher-level targets". In addition, Trump said the U.S. may also consider "taking over" Iran's Kharg Island. (Jinshi)

Trump stated, "We cannot trust the Iranians. Even if a deal is eventually reached, I’m not sure it will hold." Last night, we sank 28 Iranian vessels and may sink more tonight, launching renewed attacks against them—attacks Iran is powerless to stop. We have not yet launched the highest-level strikes, such as blowing up bridges, but if necessary, we will destroy higher-value targets including Iran’s power and water facilities, and may even seize Kharg Island. "We could have killed all of Iran’s leaders during Khamenei’s funeral, but Iran exploited the funeral to launch attacks," he added. "Witkov can participate in negotiations, but I do not see that possibility at present." Additionally, Trump said he may reimpose a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz, targeting only Iran. (Jinshi)
