Oil tanker, Jorya, was seen sailing at sea off the coast of Musandam on Thursday (June 25) , after Oman announced temporary shipping lanes through the Strait of Hormuz.

LSEG  ship tracking data showed tanker passed through the strait near the Omani shore. 

Oil prices fell to pre-war levels on Thursday as the United States said flows through the Strait of Hormuz were nearing normal and its top diplomat wrapped up a Gulf tour aimed at winning support for a preliminary Iran deal.

Despite the recovery in traffic, Iran signalled it would continue to assert control. Its Revolutionary Guards on Thursday warned vessels to stick to routes through the strait designated by Tehran, rejecting newly announced shipping routes not coordinated with Iran as unacceptable and dangerous.

The warning came after Oman announced temporary shipping lanes through the strait in coordination with the United Nations' shipping agency.

Data from the U.N.'s International Maritime Organization showed that 57 ships carrying about 1,100 seafarers have transited the strait since June 23 under the evacuation plan.
