SINGAPORE, April 11 (Reuters) - Three supertankers passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Saturday, shipping data showed, marking what appeared to be ‌the first vessels to exit the Gulf since the U.S.-Iran ceasefire deal and as peace talks got under way in Pakistan.
Tehran's blockade of the strait, a chokepoint for about 20% of global oil and liquefied natural ⁠gas shipments, since the start of the Iran war at the end of February has disrupted global energy supplies and sent oil prices soaring.
