On September 14th, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright warned oil traders not to expect a quick breakthrough on the Strait of Hormuz issue. Iran is planning to propose a shipping agreement to other Gulf states. In an interview on Sunday, Wright stated, "Expecting to reach a consensus agreement with Iran today is clearly not a good option." He said the market still needs to rely on alternative shipping routes. He estimated that these alternative routes can currently still supply about 10 million barrels of crude oil and petroleum products per day. Wright said, "Therefore, the current global oil market supply is indeed tighter than we would like, but not excessively so." Wright also said that Irans nuclear program will end "in some way," adding, "We prefer a negotiated solution. If negotiations fail, they can continue with a secret, hidden, covered-up, and denied nuclear weapons program, but after that, Iran will face the U.S. military, and the U.S. military will ensure they cannot develop nuclear weapons."U.S. Energy Secretary Wright stated that the U.S. will terminate Irans nuclear program "no matter what"; the U.S. expressed concern over the suspension of inspections of Irans nuclear program.

Schiphol airport in Amsterdam urged travelers to avoid the airport for several hours on Saturday due to chaos caused by a ground staff strike at the start of a school holiday.


"The terminal is currently overcrowded... Schiphol is requesting that travelers refrain from visiting the airport in the future "Airport authorities stated shortly before noon in a statement (1000 GMT).


Nearly three hours later, the airport announced that passengers were once again welcome but would face lengthy wait times and possible flight delays or cancellations.


On Saturday afternoon, police temporarily closed highway exits to the airport as lines at departure gates snaked out of the airport buildings.


According to a Schiphol spokesperson, the temporary closure was necessary to ensure passenger safety and to get as many of the thousands of frustrated passengers onto their frequently delayed flights as possible.


Baggage handlers for KLM, the Dutch subsidiary of Air France-KLM, went on an unannounced strike early Saturday to press for higher pay and better working conditions.


KLM ground staff handle approximately half of all luggage arriving at Schiphol, Europe's third busiest airport, behind Paris Charles de Gaulle and London Heathrow.


According to the FNV labor union, the walkout ended around noon.
