- On Monday, Iran announced plans to sign an agreement with Oman establishing new shipping routes through the Strait of Hormuz under Iranian control, with vessels required to coordinate with Tehran to enter the restricted maritime zone.
- Tensions remain high amid a U.S. naval blockade and military escalation. CENTCOM struck three Iranian oil tankers Saturday after the Revolutionary Guard Corps launched missiles toward U.S. warships.
- Iran plans to declare a restricted zone extending into the Persian Gulf, with unauthorized vessels facing placement on a sanctions list. Lloyd's List reported Monday that the International Maritime Organization has not yet received an official proposal.
- Brent crude traded above $97 per barrel Monday morning, while Goldman Sachs warned that further shipping attacks could push prices to $120. Independent tanker tracking shows traffic remains far below prewar levels.
