According to a report from the Wall Street Journal on the 8th, only 4 ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz after the United States and Iran announced a ceasefire. The Wall Street Journal cited data from Standard & Poor's Global Market Intelligence Company, reporting that only 4 ships were allowed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz on the 8th, the lowest number since April. Before the start of the conflict with Iran, over 100 ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz every day. The report stated that among the ships waiting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz, there were over 425 oil tankers and nearly 20 ships carrying liquefied natural gas. Iran has informed mediators that they will limit the number of ships passing through the strait to around 12 per day. The Iranian side warned that ships anchored near the Strait of Hormuz must obtain permission from Iran before passing through. According to a report from the Iranian Fars News Agency on the 8th, Iran suspended the passage of oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz after an Israeli attack on Lebanon. The report said that after the ceasefire between the US and Iran, two oil tankers were granted permission by Iran and safely passed through the Strait of Hormuz that morning.
