Iran war: Shipping traffic in Gulf little changed
Shipping traffic through the Bab el-Mandeb and Strait of Hormuz remained stable, with 20 vessels transiting the Bab el-Mandeb and six through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday. This stability comes amid uncertain U.S.-Iran negotiations, as Iran's Foreign Ministry confirmed no talks are currently taking place. The situation reflects ongoing tensions, with U.S. President Donald Trump delaying potential military actions against Iran while discussions continue.
