PARIS, France — A total of 25 commercial vessels crossed the newly reopened Strait of Hormuz yesterday, the highest number since mid-April, according to data from maritime tracking firm AXSMarine published today.
After an agreement was struck to reopen the strait, it saw the highest single-day figure since April 18, when Iran briefly reopened the global trade artery to commercial traffic.
