Strait of Hormuz traffic hits 2-month low after tanker attacks escalate

Shipping data shows vessel transits through the Strait of Hormuz fell to their lowest in over two months, following a spike in attacks on oil tankers last week—the highest since the Iran war began. The decline signals growing risk aversion among shippers and insurers, tightening a critical chokepoint for global oil flows. Uncertainty remains over whether attacks will persist and how much traffic will recover.

This creates a near-term de-escalation in direct US military action but maintains high readiness and long-term uncertainty.
