Strait of Hormuz traffic remains near zero as peace talks stall
Commercial traffic in the Strait of Hormuz is currently very limited due to stalled peace talks between the US and Iran. The US Navy has redirected numerous vessels to enforce compliance with an Iranian port blockade. Visibility for commercial shipping is further hampered by GPS jamming and tracking disruptions in the area.
- ▪No commercial transits were observed in the Strait of Hormuz on the morning of June 5.
- ▪Iran is demanding a ceasefire in Lebanon before agreeing to reopen the Strait and extend their truce.
- ▪The US Navy has redirected 129 vessels and disabled six for non-compliance with the Iranian port blockade.
