The US military reiterated Sunday that the Strait of Hormuz is open to lawful maritime traffic, but the source citing tracking data reports that no vessels have transited the waterway for three days, directly contradicting the official claim. The channel's report has not been independently verified.
The Zioneer reported 10 minutes ago that the US military declared the Strait of Hormuz open to all vessels seeking lawful passage. A new message from the source now presents tracking data that appears to contradict that official assertion, claiming no vessel traffic has passed through the strait for three days. This is the second time today that tracking data has been cited to challenge the US military's position; an earlier bulletin from The Zioneer noted similar data showing no transits in the past 24 hours. The channel's claim remains unconfirmed by independent sources, and no official US or Iranian statement has addressed the alleged three-day halt.
