The Strait of Hormuz is still largely closed after a ceasefire between the US, Iran, and Israel. Ship traffic is far below normal, with only seven vessels crossing recently. This is down from 130 ships per day before the conflict. The vessels that did cross followed coastal routes under military coordination. Iran had announced safe passage would be allowed for two weeks, but actual movement has been minimal. Conflicting reports from Iran and US officials have added to the uncertainty. The strait is a key global shipping lane, carrying a quarter of global seaborne oil and one-fifth of liquefied natural gas.
