Strait of Hormuz Shipping Downward
The article concerns navigation activity in the Strait of Hormuz. Data from Kepler Corporation indicated that tensions between the United States and Iran led to a decline in ship traffic through the strait at the end of the week. Nine ships passed through on Thursday, compared to five the previous day, still below the monthly average of 12 ships. The limited maritime activity is a result of Iran's claims that the strait is closed, despite assurances from American and international officials that it remains partially open. Additionally, information suggests that some vessels are taking routes controlled by Iran or attempting to refuse passage through the strait, amid rising regional tensions and their impact on international oil trade.
