Shipping slows through Strait of Hormuz after tanker attacks, data shows
According to a report by the Jerusalem Post, data shows a significant decline in shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz following recent attacks on tankers. Before the current conflict, more than 130 ships traversed this strategic waterway daily, a figure that has now dropped considerably. While it is possible that some vessels are passing through undetected by turning off their transponders, the available figures remain far below pre-war levels. The Strait of Hormuz, located between Iran and the United Arab Emirates, remains one of the world's most critical energy transit routes.
