In the past three days, only 70 commercial vessels escorted by the US passed through the Strait of Hormuz, lower than the pre-conflict daily average of 138.
Odaily Planet Daily News According to data released on the 5th by the US-led Combined Maritime Information Center, from July 2 to July 4, a total of 70 commercial vessels were escorted by the US side through the Strait of Hormuz, lower than the pre-conflict daily average of 138. The announcement shows that the daily number of ships coordinated and escorted by the US side has continued to decline, with 33 ships on July 2, 29 ships on July 3, and 18 ships 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 announcement assessed the threat level in the entire Strait of Hormuz area as "high" and stated that there is still a risk of naval mines in the waters, with related mine-sweeping surveys being carried out across the entire area. Interference with the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) has become normalized across the region and will continue to pose a hazard to the safety of ship navigation.
