June 14: The latest ship-tracking data shows vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz are largely avoiding Iranian waters and opting instead for the Omani-side channel. Over the past 24 hours, no commercial ships have used the Iranian transit route, with all related shipping activity now concentrated in the Omani side’s traffic separation scheme. Analysts note that amid heightened regional security and geopolitical risks, shipping companies are proactively adjusting their routes to reduce potential hazards of sailing near Iranian waters, further shifting the traditional transit pattern toward the southern Omani side.

June 14 — CNN reports U.S. President Donald Trump said the Iran agreement is “scheduled to be signed on Sunday,” adding the Strait of Hormuz will reopen after the deal is inked. However, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has denied any Sunday signing arrangement exists, criticizing Trump’s “unusual insistence” on the timeline and stating the relevant framework agreement has not been finalized.

June 14, Fox News — A senior U.S. government official said a highly impressive and solid agreement has been reached.

Trump added that Iran no longer pursues nuclear weapons and won’t acquire them through purchase, research, or any other means. The agreement is scheduled to be signed tomorrow, he noted, and once inked, the Strait of Hormuz will immediately open to all countries.
