Hormuz traffic tests US-Iran truce
Tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has more than tripled since a US-Iran interim peace deal but remains below prewar levels. Four empty supertankers are currently testing the truce's effectiveness, and Iraq's president has indicated his country may suspend OPEC membership if production quotas aren't increased following the UAE's withdrawal from the group.
