Over the past 24 hours, about 72 ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, transporting about 20 million barrels of oil, US Secretary of Energy Chris Wright said.
⠀
“I would say that about 72 ships in the last 24 hours and 20 million barrels of oil, and on the previous day — 19 million barrels of oil,” Wright said, commenting on the situation with shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.
⠀
On the night of June 18, Iran and the United States remotely signed a memorandum that presupposes the end of the military conflict that began on February 28.
⠀
The memorandum also sets a timeline for when the United States will lift the naval blockade and Iran will restore navigation in the Strait of Hormuz.
⠀
In addition, Iran undertakes not to obtain nuclear weapons, and the issue of the Iranian nuclear program should be settled by a separate agreement.
⠀
The parties will hold negotiations on this issue within 60 days. For Tehran, the result should be the lifting of anti-Iranian sanctions.
