Loaded Qatar Lng Vessels Retreat After Nearing Strait of Hormuz, Ship ...
- On Monday, two Qatari LNG tankers, the Daayen and Rasheeda, abandoned an attempt to exit the Persian Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz, turning back after previously heading eastward toward the opening.
- Since U.S. and Israeli strikes began in late February, Iran has effectively choked off transit through the waterway, restricting passage to its own vessels and those it has approved.
- Damage to QatarEnergy's Ras Laffan complex from missile strikes will cost about $20 billion annually, forcing force majeure declarations and driving Asian and European gas prices to three-year highs.
- President Trump warned Tehran on Sunday to "Open the Strait" by Tuesday or face military action; Iran rejected the ultimatum, demanding compensation for war-related damages.
- The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy warned the waterway will "never return to its previous condition," adding it is completing preparations to enforce a new security order across the Persian Gulf.
