  • Vessel Traffic in the Strait of Hormuz Reaches Highest Level Since Early March

    On April 6, foreign media reported that traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has risen to its highest level since the onset of the Middle East conflict, as more countries have reached security passage agreements with Iran. Over the weekend, a total of 21 vessels passed through the waterway, marking the highest two-day total since traffic began to decline in early March. Although the current number of vessels is still far below pre-war levels (approximately 135 vessels), more countries have obtained passage permits. A senior crude oil analyst at Singapore's Kpler stated, 'Iran is strengthening its control over Hormuz while responding to requests from its partners. Passage still depends on Iran's willingness, and the situation could change at any time if the conflict escalates.' So far, most of the vessels granted passage appear to be following the routes indicated by Tehran, navigating close to the Iranian coast. However, more vessels are also beginning to choose to travel along the opposite shore.

  • Iran Calls U.S. 15-Point Plan 'Highly Ambitious and Illogical'

    April 6 - According to the Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA), Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Ismail Baghaei stated that in the context of recent proposals to end the war, Tehran has finalized its demands but will only announce them at the appropriate time, emphasizing that Iran will not succumb to pressure. He said, 'A few days ago, they proposed some plans through intermediaries, and this U.S. plan, which contains 15 points, was conveyed through Pakistan and other friendly countries.' He added, 'Such proposals are highly ambitious, unusual, and illogical.' He stressed that Iran has its own framework. 'Based on our own interests and considerations, we have organized and formulated a series of demands that we have presented in the past and present.' He also denied that engaging with mediators indicates weakness. 'The fact that Iran quickly and courageously expressed its position on a proposal should not be seen as a sign of submission to the enemy.' (Jinshi)
