Middle East tanker transits June 30-July 6, 2026 per JMIC Update 068: Strait of Hormuz 16.4/day, Bab-el-Mandeb Strait 13.4/day
The most important thing commanding Mad King Ludwig's attention right now is renewing his threats against our friends in Greenland and NATO, not that our enemy Iran just attacked four ships in the Omani corridor in the last 24 hours
His brain is a bucket of eels.
Trump renews Greenland threats at NATO summit, says U.S. could remove troops from Europe
Oil prices rise more than 2% after attacks on tankers in Strait of Hormuz
UKMTO is reporting that three attacks were reported, not four.

The main takeaway from this recent very granular chart of Strait of Hormuz tanker transits is that 14 total transits both ways on the most recent day observed is not 70 as at the beginning of the year
For June 18-20, JMIC Update 061 had 30 total tanker transits whereas this Bloomberg guy has just 24.

Middle East tanker transits June 14-20, 2026: Strait of Hormuz 5.4/day, Bab-el-Mandeb Strait 16.7/day
Tanker transits through the Strait of Hormuz would be normal if they were more like 70 per day total, in and out. This would be out of ~138 total transits, which is the normal historical average including also cargo/bulk/etc. vessels as stated in the latest JMIC Update 061.
We are nowhere close to that after Trump's so-called peace deal with Iran.
People who think the world isn't still headed to an oil supply crisis don't know what they're talking about.
SoH E: 2.6/day; 4.3/day June 18-20 (lol get real)
