Properly proved. Has structure, has flavour, has a point.
Summary
The Strait of Hormuz could see a rapid but cautious reopening if a U.S.-Iran deal is implemented. According to Kpler analyst Matt Wright, tanker traffic entering the Persian Gulf could rise to 12 vessels per day (50% of prewar levels) within the first 30 days. However, cautious shippers will wait to see if initial transits proceed without attacks or mines before reentering. Insurance rates are expected to decrease once vessels begin making the journey successfully.
