Ship traffic through Strait of Hormuz remains below pre-war levels
Commercial shipping through the Strait of Hormuz remains below pre-war levels, with 71 confirmed transits over the weekend compared to 100-130 daily vessels before the US-Israeli war on Iran. The main central shipping channel is mined and closed, forcing vessels to use the northern route through Iranian territorial waters and the southern route through Omani waters.
