Maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz continued despite a US naval blockade that began Monday evening local time. According to reports up to Tuesday night, 25 ships crossed the strait while 13 others remained in the area. Among the vessels were four tankers, including Liberia-flagged 'Christiana', US-sanctioned 'Rich Starry' and 'Murlikishan', and Panama-flagged 'Peace Gulf'. Some of these tankers reportedly halted near the blockade line between Gwadar Bay and Ras al Hadd.
The blockade, ordered by US President Donald Trump after failed Iran-US talks in Islamabad, extends from Gwadar Bay to Oman’s Ras al Hadd. As a result, around 2,000 ships are trapped inside the Persian Gulf, with about 400 waiting to enter. Shipping tracker Tanker Traffic reported that several vessels are using false Automatic Identification System (AIS) signals to conceal their identities.
The situation has raised concerns about potential disruptions to global energy supply and economic stability, as noted by warnings of rising oil prices and possible global recession linked to the Iran conflict.
