Kpler estimates China has received around 534,000 bpd of Iranian crude so far in August, while Iranian floating storage has fallen from roughly 105 million to 80 million barrels. Some Iranian crude grades have also shifted from discounts to premiums amid tightening supply.
Only seven commodity vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday according to Kpler data, with four entering and three exiting. No VLCCs or LNG carriers were recorded, although one VLGC carrying propane and butane exited through the Iranian route.
Bab el Mandeb recorded 23 commodity vessel transits Thursday.

Source, Office of the President of Iran:
جایگاه جامعه پزشکی در نظام سلامت، جایگاهی اثرگذار و مورد اعتماد مردم است/ به جای بیان دردها؛ باید برای درمان مشکلات مردم چاره کرد/ دولت با تمام وجود به دنبال خدمت به مردم است
رئیس جمهور با تأکید بر جایگاه اثرگذار و مورد اعتماد جامعه پزشکی در نظام سلامت کشور، خواستار نقش آفرینی فعال پزشکان و کادر درمان در حل مشکلات مردم و ارتقای کیفیت خدمات سلامت شد و گفت: به جای بیان صرف دردها، باید برای درمان آنها گام برداریم و با صداقت در خدمت مردم باشیم.
One distinction “appearing to take aim at radicals” is media interpretation, not language used by the Presidency. The actual anti hardliner implication comes from his criticism of people attacking the agreement from “outside the arena.” but. I'm working with translators here. Granted good ones. But even they can be mistaken. So. Will see.
