Strait of Hormuz Sees Lowest Ship Traffic in 48 Hours
The Strait of Hormuz has experienced a sharp decline in maritime traffic, with only 10 ships passing through in the past 48 hours—its lowest transit rate since the breakdown of the US-Iranian memorandum of understanding in June. This comes amidst escalating military tensions between Washington and Tehran, along with the American blockade of Iranian ports. It has been observed that four ships transited the strait within 24 hours, including a tanker carrying oil and a liquefied natural gas vessel. There was widespread interference with navigation signals and unusual movements among dozens of ships due to electronic jamming. On the ground, US military strikes against Iran continued, with the Iranian Revolutionary Guard promising a broad response. Kuwait and Bahrain also activated their air defenses. Military and political tensions remain high, as Washington expressed a desire for a diplomatic resolution, while Iran warned of a severe retaliation.
