U.S. officials told The Wall Street Journal that "Iran’s insistence on controlling the Strait of Hormuz could lead to a resumption of war."
This came as Iran informed mediators that it would limit the number of ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz to about twelve per day and impose transit fees under the ceasefire agreement.
Meanwhile, S&P Global Market Intelligence data showed that only four ships were allowed to pass yesterday, the lowest number recorded so far in April, compared to over 100 ships per day before the war.
