Strait of Hormuz traffic hits three-month low
This article summarizes the state of maritime traffic disruption in the Strait of Hormuz, one of the most vital maritime routes for global energy trade, due to the ongoing conflict between the United States and Iran over the terms of ending the war and security disagreements. Data indicates a decline in ship movement by up to 90% compared to pre-crisis levels in February, with an average of around 13 ships crossing daily in recent days—a level not seen since May 2026. Concerns over global oil and gas supplies are intensifying, as many oil tankers remain halted off Asian coastlines awaiting developments, amid sporadic attacks and ship interceptions. Despite Trump's statements asserting full control over the strait, Iranian authorities affirm that the strait remains closed and under their conditions, deepening uncertainty and tension in the region.
