In the past three days, only 70 US-escorted commercial ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz, lower than the pre-conflict daily average of 138.

Odaily reported that data released by the US-led Joint Maritime Information Center on the 5th showed that during the 72-hour period from July 2 to 4, a total of 70 commercial ships were escorted by the US through the Strait of Hormuz, lower than the pre-conflict daily average of 138. The notice indicated that the daily volume of US-coordinated escorted vessels continued to decline, with 33 vessels on July 2, 29 on July 3, and 18 on July 4.

The Strait of Hormuz currently has two navigable channels: the southern channel near Oman and the northern channel controlled by Iran. The notice assessed the overall threat level in the Strait of Hormuz as "high," stating that there remains a mine risk in the strait's waters and that related mine-sweeping survey operations are being conducted across the entire area. Jamming of Global Navigation Satellite Systems across the area has become normalized, continuing to pose a hazard to the safety of vessel navigation.
