Tehran limits navigation as Washington eases blockade
The article addresses the on-the-ground situation in the Strait of Hormuz, where maritime traffic has experienced a significant decline and tensions between Iran and the United States are escalating. The Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced new measures in the maritime area, increasing warnings to regional countries against joining efforts to protect the waterway. Meanwhile, data confirms that ship movements have fallen to their lowest levels in months, amid the ongoing American blockade of Iranian ports. On the American side, sources indicate that Iran’s oil exports have dropped to zero since the resumption of the blockade in July, despite Trump’s statements that oil passing through the strait reached 18 million barrels per day—an amount lower than before the conflict, with the Iranian rial’s value declining sharply. Simultaneously, the Persian Gulf has seen an escalation in military activity between Iran and U.S. forces, with each side targeting the other's ships, and the current threat level considered very high. Iran warns against any country, such as South Korea, participating in efforts to protect the strait, viewing such actions as support for American aggression. The region continues to experience ongoing maritime and political tensions.
