Two Supertankers U-Turn in Hormuz as US-Iran Talks Break Down

Two vessels, Agios Fanourios I and Shalamar, u-turned at the mouth of the Strait of Hormuz after the US said it failed to reach an agreement with Iran. The disruption raises near-term shipping risk through a critical energy chokepoint, while Mombasa B managed to pass through. The incident is bearish for regional logistics and adds geopolitical risk to oil and tanker flows.
