Iran has reportedly restricted maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz to just 15 ships per day following its ceasefire agreement with the United States. The move, attributed to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), reflects continued control over the strategic waterway despite the truce. Before the conflict, over 100 ships crossed daily, highlighting the scale of disruption. The strait, crucial for nearly 20% of global oil trade, had been largely shut during the war. While the partial reopening signals easing tensions, strict monitoring, permissions, and security concerns continue to limit normal shipping activity and keep global energy markets uncertain.
