> Fewer than two dozen vessels crossed the Strait of Hormuz over the weekend amid US and Iranian actions restricting traffic through the waterway, Reuters reported, citing Kpler. Preliminary figures showed 13 crossings on August 22 and four on August 23, though the count may change because some vessels had their transponders switched off.
