Fragile negotiations between the US and Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz have stalled several times.
Tehran has been charging ships up to $2 million (€1.73 million) for safe passage through the strait, while the United States has imposed a naval embargo, turning back vessels carrying Iranian oil exports.
Separately, on Thursday, the AFP news agency, citing the maritime tracking firm Kpler, reported that four Iranian-flagged oil tankers passed through the strait.
The firm detected the passage on Monday of the Hilda I, the Amber, the Silvia 1 and the Happiness I.
According to Kpler, the vessels were carrying a total of 7 million barrels of oil loaded in mid-April on Kharg Island.

Officers from the force that failed Henry Nowak have now admitted they felt "controlled and pressured to feel certain ways" after mandatory DEI sessions that hammered home 'white privileged' and unconscious bias.
The trainer outsourced to deliver the course was described as "deeply hateful of white people and British culture." Serving and former Hampshire officers told former Home Secretary Suella Braverman they were furious but stayed silent out of fear for their careers.
Multiple officers from Hampshire Constabulary have now gone on record about the ideological pressure inside the force.
They described how DEI modules on white privilege, unconscious bias, and the importance of being an "ally" were drilled into them.
It's not limited to this one police force either.
Back in April 2025, we detailed how UK police forces were already forcing officers into training explicitly designed to make them accept their "white privilege."
Thames Valley Police rolled out mandatory equity training covering white privilege, micro-aggressions, and the push from "non-racist" to "anti-racist." An independent review led by former assistant chief constable Kerrin Wilson found the sessions created deep divisions.
White officers expressed strong frustration and felt disadvantaged, while some minority officers said the training was harmful to real diversity efforts and would deter them from seeking promotion.
Former government advisor and ex-police officer Rory Geoghegan warned that crude categorisation by skin colour and critical race theory ideology had no place in an impartial police service.
The Hampshire police chief has publicly denied any anti-white bias or two-tier system. Yet the bodycam evidence and these officer admissions tell a different story.
An ex-cop who reviewed the footage called the response "unfathomable," rejecting excuses about fast-moving situations or complexity. Basic procedure requires treating a victim who says he has been stabbed and cannot breathe as a medical emergency first - not as a potential racist offender based on the word of the man who stabbed him.
Yet, the police watchdog investigated the officers' conduct and concluded there was no wrongdoing.
This is the same pattern seen in other high-profile failures: institutions investigate themselves, apply their own captured standards, and declare everything acceptable.
The public saw the footage. Henry Nowak's family saw their son die after being treated as the problem rather than the victim. The watchdog saw no issue.
Meanwhile, Prime Minister Keir Starmer has defended religious exemptions that allow Sikhs to carry large ceremonial knives in public. At the same time, British women face prosecution for carrying ordinary pepper spray for self-defense on the streets at night.
To make matters even worse, a tiny replica sword from a video game will land a white British man in prison.
The contrast could not be clearer.
Religious or cultural exemptions shield other groups from the same strict weapons laws. Henry Nowak's case shows what happens when the system already views native Britons through a lens of presumed guilt or lesser priority.
Henry Nowak was not a threat. He was a student who had been stabbed and was dying in front of officers trained to see race first and humanity second. The attacker walked away with different treatment. The victim's pleas were secondary to a racism narrative pushed by the perpetrator's side.
This is the predictable result of years of ideological capture inside policing - training that reframes basic law enforcement as potential oppression when the victim is white and British.
Officers who spoke out did so at personal risk. The watchdog protected the system. Starmer protects exemptions for some while ordinary citizens, especially women, are left defenseless under the same rules.
Britain's police were once expected to protect the public without fear or favor. When training teaches officers to weigh skin color and ideology before acting on a dying man's words, the institution has already failed its core purpose. Henry Nowak paid the price. The admissions now emerging confirm what the footage always showed.
The pushback against this capture is growing. Exposing the training, the excuses, and the double standards is the first step toward restoring policing that serves the entire country rather than imported ideologies. Native Britons deserve equal protection under the law - not to be treated as somehow 'privileged' while they bleed to death.
The Democratic nominee to represent New Jersey's Seventh Congressional District in the House of Representatives, Rebecca Bennett, said she "stopped going to church" because she could not sit in a room "full of people who voted for Trump," audio obtained by the Washington Free Beacon shows.
At a campaign event in February, a woman asked Bennett, "I loved hearing you say that you're a patriot, but what are you going to do about that being a right-coded way of presenting yourself?" Bennett responded with a story about how she stopped attending church services because she could not bear to be around people who voted for President Donald Trump.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.
11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces.

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.
13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."
28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."
29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.
30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."
31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.
41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.
42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use united force to solve economic, political or social problems.
43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.
44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.
45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction over nations and individuals alike.
