Iran affirms control amid Strait attack surge
Iran has confirmed its complete control over the Strait of Hormuz, indicating that vessel transit movements are extremely limited. Data from a maritime tracking unit showed that the number of ships attacked in the area between October 5 and 11 reached a record high, with 12 ships targeted during that period, including six in a single day—last Sunday—which is the highest daily rate since the conflict with Iran began. Iran has not allowed any hostile ships to pass through the strait, emphasizing that any attempt to transit without coordination has resulted in attacks or collisions with mines. The country has established full control over the strait from both sides, despite claims of limited maritime traffic there, even though statements have been made about opening the strait.
