No oil tankers passed through Strait of Hormuz on first day of ceasefire

No oil tankers traversed the Strait of Hormuz for the entire first day of the ceasefire between the United States and Israel, despite the waterway being opened by the Islamic Republic.

The first 24 hours after the ceasefire was implemented, four bulk carriers traversed the strait, but no oil or gas tankers, the ships highest in demand, global ship-tracking firm Kpler told the New York Times. After Israeli airstrikes against Lebanon caused Iranian state media to announce the strait was "fully closed" again on Wednesday, no ships crossed the strait.
