Maritime Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz Drops to Its Lowest Levels Since May
The article addresses the decline in maritime navigation through the Strait of Hormuz, where the number of ships passing through the strait has dropped to its lowest levels since May, following escalating tensions between Iran and the United States. Data indicates that only three ships transited the strait on Thursday, with most either halting or returning after recent attacks carried out by Tehran on vessels and oil shipments, and the resumption of the US naval blockade related to Iran. This decrease in maritime activity has led to a rise in global energy prices. Iran has also pledged not to allow oil exports through the strait amidst ongoing US-Iranian tensions, with potential threats to close the Bab el-Mandeb Strait if attacks persist.
