Beirut: Three Saudi-flagged supertankers carrying a combined six million barrels of crude oil transited the Strait of Hormuz today, one day after Washington and Tehran signed a memorandum of understanding aimed at ending the conflict and reopening the strategic waterway.

According to National News Agency - Lebanon, the vessels departed from Saudi ports and successfully passed through the strait, marking the largest such movement of Saudi crude shipments in weeks.

The transit is being viewed as an early indication of the resumption of normal commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical energy corridors, following the recent U.S.-Iran agreement.
