Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz has collapsed to a near standstill, with data showing only five vessels transited the strategic waterway in the past 24 hours. The figure includes one Iranian oil products tanker and follows Iran's seizure of two container ships this week. The U.S. blockade of Iranian ports continues to severely disrupt maritime commerce in the region. The dramatic drop underscores the severe impact of the ongoing military and economic confrontation on global shipping lanes.
