Svmuu News: Iranian authorities stated that data shows shipping in the Strait of Hormuz continues to use the Iranian shipping lane, and the number of vessels confirmed to have passed through the strait has dropped to 8. Of the 8 completed passages, 7 transited through Iranian waters; no passages via the Omani channel were recorded, nor was any movement observed from the “shadow fleet.” Traffic was evenly split between commercial and non-commercial vessels, with half of all passages involving ships flying the Iranian flag.
