Navigation drops in Strait of Hormuz
The Strait of Hormuz has experienced a decline in maritime traffic in recent days, with the number of ships transiting the strait on Sunday dropping to 4 compared to 8 the previous day, amid the entry of several oil tankers to load crude and products. This comes against the backdrop of escalating tensions between the United States and Iran, as the U.S. has imposed a naval blockade on Iranian ports, while Iran targets vessels that violate its navigation rules in the strait, through which about one-fifth of the world's oil shipments pass. Additionally, the British Maritime and Coastguard Agency reported a fire on a vessel near Oman, and no LNG carriers have been seen passing through the strait since Thursday, with some ships suspending their passage to hide their transit.
