The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations (UKMTO) reported an incident occurring 136 nautical miles east of Al Mukalla, Yemen, a hotspot for maritime security concerns linked to the ongoing Yemen conflict. This incident has caused a decline in the probability of finalizing the Iran-Oman Hormuz Management Agreement, with the market for the August 31 deadline dropping from 23% to 16.5% and the September 30 deadline falling from 61% to 48%. These figures reflect an increased perception of risk in the region, with observers monitoring further developments regarding the incident as well as official statements from Iranian and Omani officials regarding the agreement.
