Maritime activity dips in Strait of Hormuz amid US-Iran tensions
Maritime traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has declined amid escalating US-Iranian tensions, with only 9 ships passing through on Thursday—a lower activity level than the monthly average of 12 ships in August. Most of these vessels traversed the Iranian passage. Meanwhile, smuggling operations in the Bab el-Mandeb Strait continued, with 19 ships passing compared to 20 the previous day, according to data from Kepler. These developments come amid heightened tensions between the United States and Iran and increased maritime and navigation threats in the region.
