Six ships crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Sunday, July 12, the lowest in five weeks, according to Kpler data, including the tanker Humanity carrying 2 million barrels of Iranian oil; traffic slowed to a two-month low the following day. The U.S. Energy Department told CNBC that 8.5 million barrels of oil still transited on Sunday.

Why it matters

The traffic recovery that followed the memorandum had reversed within a week of the fighting resuming.
