Amid escalating U.S.-Iran tensions, shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has dropped significantly. Only four vessels crossed the strait on Sunday, down from eight the previous day. This disruption is critical as the strait is vital for global oil trade, with limited passage for oil tankers since Thursday. ⚓

The U.S. has conducted eight consecutive nights of military actions against Iranian targets, further straining the situation. This decline in shipping activity may impact oil prices and global supply chains.
