US Energy Secretary Chris Wright says 67 ships went through the Strait of Hormuz in the last 24 hours, similar to traffic before the war began in terms of oil and petroleum products, Al Jazeera reports.

Wright tells Fox News that Iran has not yet “de-mined” the strait’s central shipping channel, but the US has opened a separate route to the south and has been escorting ships through it.

Wright acknowledges some commercial shippers still have safety concerns.
