Hormuz Traffic Rises to 40% of Pre-War Levels, Reuters Reports
⚓ HORMUZ — A fourfold jump in traffic while Iran is still firing missiles at Kuwait. 📌 LOOK CLOSER: 40% flow after weeks near 10% signals Tehran is deliberately relaxing the choke — not because of a deal, but possibly to prevent a full Gulf coalition response after the Kuwait airport strike. For Brent pricing, it's a ceiling breaker. For Washington, it's leverage: Iran modulating Hormuz proves the closure was political, not operational.
