Iran attacks force ships to turn in Hormuz

Playback data from vessel traffic tracking shows that several vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz from April 17 through April 19 until Iranian attacks forced ships to turn back. This confirms earlier reports that the IRGC Navy attacked commercial vessels and halted all traffic in the critical waterway. The data specifically shows traffic from the Strait of Hormuz to the entrance of the Gulf of Oman, with vessels ceasing transit after the attacks. This represents a continuation of Iran's blockade of the strategic chokepoint.
