Ship traffic through the Strait of Ormuz dropped by 19.5% to 95 confirmed crossings last week, with only three recorded on August 16, according to energy market analytics firm Kpler. The decline coincides with the expiration of a 60-day memorandum of understanding agreed upon by Tehran and Washington on June 17.

The deadline passed on Monday without achieving its primary objectives of ending the conflict or reopening the Strait of Ormuz, leaving the United States and Iran deadlocked in their negotiations.
