Ceasefire in Iran war expires with Strait of Hormuz still largely closed
The 60-day ceasefire memorandum signed in the Iran war expires on August 17, 2026, with almost no progress on reopening the Strait of Hormuz and Iran still striking vessels. Only a handful of ships transited over the weekend, and a new crude oil spill was observed in the strait with no tankers crossing the Oman route.

Looks like another crude oil spill in the Strait of Hormuz. Unsure if it came from a new strike on a vessel last night. No tankers crossed last night on the Oman route. Compared to the 14th, where 2 can be seen crossing. https://t.co/0U62j0MWDP

Middle Eastern oil producers are pressing ahead with shuttling large volumes of crude out of the Persian Gulf, helping keep a lid on prices and assuaging fears of an energy-driven inflation spike, even as the Iran war drags on. https://t.co/ESBLcQF4ZZ
