Reuters reported that the Dubai Energy, a very large crude oil tanker chartered by Taiwan’s China Petroleum Corporation, left the Strait of Hormuz on the night of the 23rd, carrying 2 million barrels of crude oil from Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia. (Central News Agency Drawing) (Central News Agency Singapore Comprehensive Foreign News Report on the 23rd) Reuters reported that ship tracking data showed that two previously trapped supertankers passed through the Strait of Hormuz today. One of them is reported to be a very large crude oil tanker (VLCC) chartered by Taiwan’s China Petroleum Corporation. The report quoted information from the London Stock Exchange Group (LSEG) and shipping tracking agency Kpler as saying that the Dubai Energy, a very large crude oil tanker chartered by Taiwan’s China Petroleum Corporation, carrying 2 million barrels of crude oil from Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia, left the Strait of Hermuz at night and is currently heading for Kaohsiung. CNPC did not respond to Reuters’ request for comment. Another very large crude oil tanker that left the strait today was chartered by a South Korean refiner and carried 2 million barrels of Saudi crude oil. In addition, seven empty liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers linked to Qatar have entered the Persian Gulf in recent weeks, an early sign that gas shipments in the Persian Gulf may begin to resume. Data also shows that oil tankers related to Iran continue to pass through this important waterway, and as the United States and Iran advance negotiations, ship traffic increased yesterday.

After the United States and Iran signed a memorandum to end the war in the Middle East, talks are expected to be held in Switzerland on the 21st. (Reuters) (Central News Agency reporter Hou Ziying, Washington, 20th) After the United States and Iran signed a memorandum to end the war in the Middle East, talks are expected to be held in Switzerland on the 21st. U.S. Vice President JD Vance will set off this afternoon. Before leaving, he told the media that he hoped to make progress on issues such as Iran’s nuclear program and the ceasefire in Lebanon. These will be the two major issues that the United States will focus on. After the United States and Iran signed an end-of-war memorandum, a 60-day negotiation period was launched. The United States and Iran were originally scheduled to hold a new round of talks in Switzerland on the 19th, but their departure was postponed for some reason. Vance said in an interview with Fox News earlier today that he expected to travel to Switzerland to hold talks with Iran in the next few days. He also mentioned that US negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff have arrived in Switzerland. Vance then set off in the afternoon. In a joint interview with the media before his departure, Vance said that he could only stay in Switzerland for one or two days, hoping to make progress on nuclear issues and the ceasefire in Lebanon. “I think these are the two major issues we will focus on.” I believe Iran also has other issues it wants to discuss. He said that as far as the US understands, the Iranian delegation has just arrived in Switzerland, and personnel from Pakistan and Qatar have also arrived there. “We will hold talks in the next few days to try to get this matter off to a good start.” Agence France-Presse reported that the Swiss Ministry of Foreign Affairs pointed out that an Iranian delegation arrived in Switzerland today as the US-Iran talks are about to begin. According to reports, Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a statement earlier saying that as part of the follow-up measures to the US-Iran memorandum, “technical-level talks will be held on June 21 in Burgenstock, Switzerland.” The statement also mentioned that mediators from Pakistan and Qatar will participate in the talks together with representatives from the United States and Iran. On the other hand, Iran claimed earlier today that it had closed the Strait of Hormuz again due to Israel’s attack on southern Lebanon, describing the Israeli attack as a violation of the agreement reached between Tehran and Washington. However, the US military later denied this statement and emphasized that this important waterway remained open and that US military forces were closely monitoring the situation to ensure that the strait remained open.

Please agree to our privacy policy to enable news listening. (Central News Agency, Tehran, comprehensive foreign news report on the 16th) After the United States and Iran recently agreed to end the Middle East war, including the conflict in Lebanon, the Iranian military today threatened to respond harshly to an Israeli air strike in southern Lebanon that killed four people. Agence France-Presse reported that the Khatam Al-Anbiya Central Headquarters of the Iranian military’s combat command said: “If the Zionist regime, an army that kills children, does not stop its aggression in southern Lebanon, it will face a severe response from the powerful armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran.” The military claimed that since Israel and Lebanon reached a ceasefire agreement, Israel has violated the agreement as many as “84 times.” (Compiled by: Hong Qiyuan) 1150617 Support the Central News Agency’s choice to stand with the facts.
