The Strait of Hormuz has been largely closed since late February when US and Israeli war on Iran triggered a blockade, bringing shipping to a near standstill. The vital waterway, which normally carries 25% of world seaborne oil and 20% of LNG, briefly reopened earlier this month before Iran re-closed it on Saturday.
