According to ynet, only one tanker crossed the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, the lowest daily count in recent weeks amid ongoing regional tensions.
The Israeli news site ynet reports that only one tanker transited the Strait of Hormuz on Thursday, marking the lowest daily volume recorded in recent weeks. The report follows a series of similar declines tracked by The Zioneer: on July 17, eight vessels crossed the strait, and earlier in the month, the waterway saw a three-week low of eight vessels in a single day. The sustained drop in traffic reflects the heightened security situation in the region, with Iran and the US engaged in ongoing clashes and the IRGC threatening to target shipping. No details on the specific tanker or its route were provided. The figure is based on ynet's report, which cites maritime tracking data.
