Ships passing through Hormuz hover in single digits, data shows

Vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has fallen to single digits according to recent data. This decline occurs as Iranian attacks on ships in the waterway increase, challenging U.S. military restraint. Despite the drop in current traffic, the U.S. military reports it has assisted the passage of 660 million barrels of oil through the strait since May. The current environment increases the risk of oil spills and maritime collisions due to the ongoing conflict.
