Hormuz tanker traffic unchanged after US‑Iran deal
Hormuz tanker traffic unchanged after US‑Iran deal
London, 15 June (Argus) — Vessel traffic through the strait of Hormuz has not changed since Sunday's announcement of a US-Iran peace deal , based on AIS tracking data. This suggests shipowners are waiting for the planned signing on 19 June and further details before attempting transits. The Indian LNG tanker Disha passed through without incident near Iran's Larak island. But the transit was likely pre-arranged and not the result of the newly announced deal. Several smaller vessels also transited, in line with recent traffic levels. There were no significant movements of crude or product tankers overnight. US president Donald Trump said on 14 June that he has authorised the "toll-free" reopening of the strait. But Iranian officials have yet to confirm that vessels can transit without restrictions. Transits continue to use shipping lanes near Iran's Larak and Qeshm islands rather than the traditional central route, reflecting ongoing safety risks in the strait. "The threat of mines in the area remains a concern immediately as well as further down the line, and mine-free routes need to be established," said Jakob Larsen, chief safety and security officer at industry association Bimco. "We still consider it very risky to commence transits at this point," Larsen added. Floating mines pose a significant risk and are likely to result in restrictions from marine insurers on which routes are covered. UK prime minister Keir Starmer said the UK will continue to work with partners to support reopening of the strait, including through a defensive, independent multilateral mission led by the UK and France, particularly to support mine clearance operations. Uncertainty over access to the waterway remains. Trump has a history of overstating progress in reopening the strait of Hormuz, through which about a fifth of global oil flowed before the Iran war. He wrongly claimed in April the strait was "completely open", prompting a buildup of crude and product tankers before many were turned back. The deal is set to be signed on 19 June, which participants said could be a trigger for any broader rebound in vessel traffic. More than 500 ships remain in the Mideast Gulf, and Bimco estimates it could take several weeks for all to leave, particularly as most will need to use restricted routes until mine clearance operations are completed.

Inpex applies to halt Australia's Ichthys LNG strike
Inpex applies to halt Australia's Ichthys LNG strike
Sydney, 10 June (Argus) — Japanese firm Inpex, operator of the 9.3mn t/yr Ichthys LNG project near Australia's northern city of Darwin, has applied to Australia's industrial arbiter the Fair Work Commission (FWC) to stop ongoing strikes at the project. The company has filed an application to the FWC seeking urgent orders to halt protected industrial action (PIA) at Ichthys sites, Inpex's senior vice-president Bill Townsend said on 10 June. Inpex is applying under section 424 of the Fair Work Act to suspend or terminate PIA, which cites the risks of "significant damage to the Australian economy or an important part of it" as a reason to end legally permissible strikes. The FWC has scheduled the hearing for 10am AWST (2am GMT) on 12 June. If Ichthys' production is taken off line by strikers, impacts to LNG buyers and domestic gas customers in the Northern Territory would occur, Inpex said. And this would be significant given current fuel supply constraints. Unions with members at Ichthys have notified Inpex of further PIA on 11-23 June and the firm is planning accordingly, Townsend said. Ichthys has loaded three cargoes since strikes commenced, Kpler data show, with the 174,000m³ Archy Vanguard presently berthed at the terminal. Ichthys impasse Items yet to be resolved under the bargaining talks include pay, allowances and career progression framework, Inpex said. Strikes began on 2 June at the project and have escalated to eight hours a day from an initial four hours, while bans on loading and unloading cargoes at the facility will start on 11 June, the Offshore Alliance union said on 8 June. Up to four cargoes could be lost as a result and replacements will be needed, traders told Argus this week. The escalated strike action in Australia would likely further tighten supply available to Asian importers and limit the supply buffer for the summer. Spot prices may face further upside as a result, especially as Qatari LNG supply remains off line. By Tom Major Send comments and request more information at feedback@argusmedia.com Copyright © 2026.

Israel hit Karoon petrochemical hub in southwest Iran
Israel hit Karoon petrochemical hub in southwest Iran
Dubai, 8 June (Argus) — Israel struck a number of facilities at a petrochemical complex in Mahshahr, in Iran's southwestern Khuzestan province, as part of a temporary resumption in direct hostilities between Tehran and Jerusalem. Israel's strikes were in response to a barrage of ballistic missiles that Iran launched at targets in northern Israel late on Sunday, 7 June, which in turn, were a reaction to Israeli strikes on the Lebanese capital, Beirut, earlier that day. Israel's Defense Forces (IDF) said it targeted "several infrastructure sites" it said were used by Tehran "to produce and export raw materials for weapons production." The facilities "produced unique materials that serve as critical components for the development of ballistic missiles," it said. The IDF said it had targeted the same complex during the initial weeks of the conflict that began on 28 February. Iran confirmed the hit, naming the complex as Karoon Petrochemical, which is owned by Iranian petrochemical company PGPIC. It and several of its subsidiaries were sanctioned by the US in 2019 on the grounds it would help finance the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). The IDF separately said it struck several Iranian "strategic defense systems" Tehran had deployed across the country to replace systems destroyed earlier in the fighting. Iran reported strikes on facilities in and around Tehran, Isfahan and Tabriz. Iran's armed forces said Israel had "started a dangerous game" with its targeting of the Karoon petrochemical hub, and vowed to hit back hard. It subsequently said the IRGC had launched a new missile strike against "similar industries" in Israel's Haifa, home to Israel's largest integrated oil refining and petrochemical facility. The 197,000 b/d Haifa refinery was targeted by Iran during the 12-day war in 2025, and during the early weeks of the current conflict . Israel has not confirmed if the facility sustained any damage today. The IRGC has said it has suspended its attacks on Israel, but warned "any continuation of [Israeli] hostilities and wrongdoing ꟷ particularly in southern Lebanon ꟷ will be met with far harsher and more devastating actions than those previously taken."

Iran says suspends military operation against Israel
Iran says suspends military operation against Israel
London, 8 June (Argus) — Iran has suspended its attacks on Israel, state media said today citing the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Crude prices pared some earlier gains. The IRGC said it has suspended military operations that saw ballistic missiles fired at targets in northern Israel. This was Iran's first attack on Israel since 8 April, and promoted retaliatory airstrikes by Israel on what it said were military targets in western and central Iran. "Any continuation of [Israeli] hostilities and wrongdoing — particularly in southern Lebanon — will be met with far harsher and more devastating actions than those previously taken," the IRGC said according to state news agency IRNA. Tehran deems Israeli military action in Lebanon as a part of the wider war involving the two countries and the US, and has said it wants an end to Jerusalem's incursions as part of any deal that could reopen the strait of Hormuz. Israel and Lebanon's central government have reached several ceasefire agreements, with the US facilitating those talks. But Lebanon's central government has little control over Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militant group that has been attacking civilian and military targets in northern Israel. Earlier on Monday, US president Donald Trump appealed for calm. "Israel and Iran must immediately stop "shooting"," he wrote on his Truth Social account. He again said a peace deal is close, "subject to ignorance or stupidity getting in its way", and said the US naval blockade of Iranian shipping in the Gulf of Oman "will remain in place and in full force and effect", until a deal is reached. The front-month August Ice Brent contract fell back from earlier highs after the Iranian announcement, to trade up by around 1pc on the day at $94.13/bl as of 11:50 GMT. It hit an intraday high of above $98/bl earlier in the day. By Ben Winkley Send comments and request more information at feedback@argusmedia.com Copyright © 2026. Argus Media group .
