Navigation in Strait of Hormuz after Trump’s declaration
Maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has experienced a significant decline of up to 17% from pre-conflict levels over the past week, due to tensions between the United States and Iran and the US naval blockade preventing ships from heading to or leaving Iranian ports. A British report stated that only 151 ships passed through the strait in seven days, with 56 incidents of damage to vessels recorded since the escalation began on February 28th. Most of these incidents occurred in the southern Omani route, which has seen 16 incidents since July. U.S. President Donald Trump commented that he plans to declare the strait American territory after defeating Iran. Iran, however, responded by saying that the strait cannot be taken over by a tweet or an aircraft carrier. The strait remains highly tense, especially with ships facing threats and potential attacks along the route.
