Vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has dropped significantly compared to previous weeks, according to shipping data. This decline comes amid heightened security concerns due to renewed hostilities between the US and Iran, and attacks targeting vessels in the Middle East. US President Donald Trump stated that the Strait of Hormuz is open for business, but Iran had previously announced the closure of the strait after an unauthorized vessel was attacked. Data from the tracking system 'Kepler' shows only six vessels transited the strait on Sunday, the lowest in five weeks.
