Ship traffic in Hormuz is decreasing

Ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is continuously decreasing due to the US-Iran conflict. This information was reported by the BBC in a report today, Saturday (July 18).
The fewest number of ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz last Thursday in the last three weeks. According to a report by the marine information company Kepler, only 8 ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz that day. Of these, 7 ships used the Iranian-approved route. The International Energy Agency has warned that global energy security will be seriously threatened if the stalemate in the Strait of Hormuz is not ended soon.
Experts believe that the ongoing US attacks on Iran, violations of the ceasefire agreement and the naval blockade will prolong this situation.
