More Than 20 Ships Have Passed Through The Strait Of Hormuz Amid Iran's Blockade

This is a positive signal for global markets.

More than 20 commercial ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours despite ongoing tensions and hostilities in the region. This The Wall was reported by US officials.

Although shipping volumes remain well below pre-war levels, the resumption of traffic through one of the world's key transportation corridors is seen as a positive signal for global markets.

U.S. President Donald Trump earlier demanded that Iran restore free passage through the strait. Two US warships passed through the waters this week as part of a freedom of navigation operation. At the same time, the US Central Command announced the start of clearance operations to reduce the threat to civilian vessels.

Sources said that among the vessels that passed through the strait are cargo, container and tankers heading to and from the Persian Gulf. Meanwhile, some of the vessels turned off their transponders to reduce the risk of possible attacks.

Fears over the threat of sea mines and potential strikes from Iran have previously led to a sharp decline in shipping traffic in the area. The Strait of Hormuz is considered a strategically important route through which much of the world's oil supply passes.

The US is currently continuing its blockade of Iranian ports. At the same time, the restrictions do not apply to ships that do not enter Iranian harbors - they are allowed free transit through the strait.
