Reuters reported that three Saudi-flagged supertankers carrying a total of six million barrels of crude oil passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, June 18, the largest such shipment in recent weeks. This occurred shortly after the signing of a peace agreement between the United States and the Islamic Republic.
Reza Shah II, the exiled Shah of Iran, stated in Hebrew media that 40,000 Iranians died in two days during the 2025-2026 revolution for freedom and democracy, not for a nuclear deal or to keep the Strait of Hormuz open. He emphasized the need to prioritize the will of the Iranian people in future decision-making.
