🇸🇾🇱🇾⚡- Syrian Foreign Minister Asaad al-Shaibani visited Tripoli on Sunday, meeting western Libya’s GNU Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibah and Acting Foreign Minister Taher al-Baour, as Damascus and Tripoli moved to restore and amend ties.

During the visit, al-Shaibani reopened the Syrian Embassy in Tripoli after more than 14 years of closure, while the two sides signed an agreement to reactivate the Libyan-Syrian Joint Higher Committee.

Note, eastern Libyan commander Khalifa Haftar had previously accused the Tripoli-based GNU of recruiting fighters from the Syrian National Army, SNA—formerly concentrated in northern Syria, particularly around the Azaz–Mare’ area—to fight alongside GNU-aligned forces against Haftar’s Libyan National Army, LNA.

🇮🇷🇴🇲⚡- On August 31, yesterday, only 5 vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz, a 50% decrease compared to 10 transits the previous day.

Of the five vessels, two were ghost tankers and one was under US, UK, and EU sanctions, which suggests at least three of the five were very possibly Iranian ships. Four of the five vessels entered the Gulf, while only one existed to the Arabian Sea.

Note, this does not indicate a low supply of Gulf oil to the global market. The US is currently leading an operation to export oil and gas from the Strait of Hormuz, which requires smaller, but faster vessels passing through the Hormuz via Omani waters under US military protection, then transferring its medium to a larger tanker. Dozens of ship-to-ship transfers occur daily in the Arabian Sea. The use of smaller and faster ships makes it difficult for Iran to detect and disable them.
