Some 60 commercial vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz on Wednesday carrying the highest daily volume of crude oil since early July, despite the US war on Iran, a US official told Reuters, speaking on condition of anonymity.

About 40 of those vessels coordinated with the US military for protection, the US official added. About 22 million barrels of oil exited the maritime chokepoint.
