> Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz dropped to six vessels on Monday. Shipping data put the figure below the roughly 11-vessel average recorded over the previous 10 days. The decline came as hopes for a peace agreement between the United States and Iran faded. The change highlights reduced movement through the strategic waterway amid weakening expectations of a diplomatic breakthrough.
