Ship traffic through Hormuz drops to three-month low
Shipping data shows that maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has significantly decreased, with an average of just 10 ships passing daily over the past ten days, the lowest level since May. This decline follows recent escalation between the United States and Iran, when the U.S. targeted three Iranian tankers, and Iran responded by attacking American ships, further escalating naval tensions in the region. Specialized companies have confirmed that the escalation has created a severe risk for vessels related to Iran or the United States, with the passage of giant tankers halted since Wednesday amid fears of intensified military confrontation and its impact on commercial shipping through this vital strait.
