Hormuz Strait Blockade Boosts Aqaba Trade
The article explains that disputes over the Strait of Hormuz have significantly reduced maritime navigation through it, prompting the search for alternative trade routes, particularly via the Aqaba port in Jordan, which experienced a substantial increase in cargo volume by 155.1% in the first half of 2026. The halt of shipping through the Strait of Hormuz due to security tensions, especially following American and Israeli strikes on Iran, has led companies to reroute their cargo through Aqaba. There has also been a rise in truck transportation to Iraq and Syria, resulting in a notable growth in trade activity and achieving strategic stability for the port.
