Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reports that Iran is permitting oil exports through the Strait of Hormuz, despite previous warnings and ongoing supply issues. Increased tanker traffic, including Iranian, Indian, and potentially Chinese vessels, is observed after a period of restricted movement due to regional conflict. The news also mentions unrelated brief updates on a restaurant owner's sentencing, a tribute to a deceased pilot, a drug investigation, NBA expansion plans, and a drug seizure at the Canadian border.

We’ve seen Indian ships go out now, so the Indians who rely very heavily on Gulf oil.
