The Strait of Hormuz is experiencing an increase in maritime traffic, with approximately 29 ships passing through daily last week, according to the UK Maritime Trade Operations Center. This reflects a rise in activity following the end of armed clashes between Iran and the United States in the region at the end of July. The area is one of the most crucial routes for transporting oil and gas, and any security disturbances there directly impact global energy markets. U.S. President Donald Trump confirmed that the waterway remains open to ships, noting a reduction in Iranian threats. He pointed out Washington's success in enhancing navigation security and increasing the number of tankers transiting the southern passage of the strait to 20-30 ships daily, carrying between 9 and 10 million barrels of oil. Nevertheless, maritime movement is continuing to return to pre-escalation levels, with officials emphasizing that any new escalation could quickly impact energy flows and global prices.
