Strait of Hormuz shipping traffic is effectively at a standstill despite Iran ceasefire​

Oil prices rose again above $100 a barrel as initial optimism at the deal gave way to uncertainty about when passage through the Hormuz Strait might resume.

Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz was at a virtual standstill Thursday, with only a handful of ships passing through the vital waterway since the announcement of the U.S.-Iran ceasefire..

Just five bulk carriers had transited the waterway in the first 24 hours of the deal, according to data from the ship-tracking website MarineTraffic and Kpler, a data and analytics firm, while S&P Global Market Intelligence said nine vessels had passed through across Wednesday and Thursday.

Iran has insisted that ships wanting to transit the strait must secure its permission and has suggested it retains the right to impose a fee for passage.

This language from Tehran contrasted with that of American officials, who at one point insisted the strait had reopened.

Frustrations are clear in the Gulf, whose economies are hugely dependent on the waterway and energy exports.

The victorious Iranian Republic has announced a closing of the so-called "international traffic separation scheme" by mining the area and re-routing ships through a new traffic pattern within the territorial waters of Iran and under Iranian jurisdiction and control.

America and Israel caused this.

The world is on Iran’s side in this defensive war and the imperialist regimes need to get out of west Asia as they’ve proven time and time again to be the most untrustworthy people on the planet.

Once Iran is free from tyranny of America the focus will be on making sure that Cuba gets the help it needs free from American terrorism.

America is no longer part of the international community and you know it.

Death To America! Death to Israel!

They say the ships wouldn't transit because the companies and insurers are afraid of losses. Isn't that effectively closing it to those ships?

Yes. Same for demanding a toll.

All of this traces back to Trump ignoring the advice of his military and intelligence experts and starting a war as a distraction to the Epstein files.

The Islamic Revolution Guard Corps has warned that the Strait of Hormuz will never return to its former state, especially for Washington and the Tel Aviv regime, adding it's in the final stages of operational preparations for a “new order” for the Persian Gulf.

The era of foreign hegemony over this critical waterway is definitively over.

Trans-regional powers, led by the United States, can no longer dictate terms or project unchecked influence in Iran’s immediate maritime environment.

Iran has intensified its restrictions on the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz amid the ongoing US-Israeli sneak attacks against the country.
