Reuters news agency quoted an American official, who did not want to be named, as saying that on Wednesday about 60 commercial ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz, carrying the largest daily volume of crude oil since early July.

Meanwhile, tensions between the US and Iran continue.

This US official added that about 40 of these vessels were coordinated with the US military to provide security.

According to this report on Wednesday, a total of about 22 million barrels of oil passed through this strategic transit.

With the decline of the agreement between Iran and the US, oil prices rose for the second day in a row in today's trade in world markets and maintained the upper range of $100.

Brent crude for November delivery rose above $105.50 a barrel.

Over the past two days, Iranian officials have been in contact with American representatives on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly, raising the possibility that the two sides are close to an agreement. 📸 Reuters
