Navigation in the Strait of Hormuz evolves
The article discusses the situation of the Strait of Hormuz following the escalation of the conflict between the United States and Iran. Iran has closed the strait since the outbreak of the war on February 28, resulting in a significant decline in maritime traffic and the loss of approximately 80 ships daily, which accounts for about 20% of the world's oil passing through it. In June, an agreement was reached allowing for its partial reopening. However, Iran’s increased attacks on vessels and its insistence on sovereignty led to a partial closure once again, causing maritime movement to deteriorate further. As the strait is one of the most important routes for oil transportation, the future of this conflict remains uncertain. Ships now take risky routes, facing legal and security challenges, amid disagreements between Iran and the maritime passage rights recognized by the International Maritime Organization.
