Shipping Disruption Watch: The UN/IMO paused parts of the Hormuz evacuation and escort effort after the incident, while more vessels reportedly kept transiting or rerouting, leaving route safety and enforcement questions unresolved. Oman Angle: Japan lowered travel advisories that included Oman, and Oman reiterated toll-free passage plans amid the wider debate over whether Iran can charge transit fees. Energy Markets: Oil prices slid toward multi-month lows as more tankers exited the strait, but the latest attack keeps a war-risk premium alive—spilling into broader markets.
