Iran: only 3 merchant ships crossed Hormuz yesterday

17 Luglio 2026

(Adnkronos) – Only three merchant ships crossed the Strait of Hormuz yesterday, the lowest number of daily transits since May, according to maritime traffic companies’ data, with most ships stopping or turning back following recent Iranian attacks on vessels and the resumption of the US blockade against Iran-linked ships. 

The resurgence of fighting between the United States and Iran has once again largely blocked traffic through Hormuz, the world’s most important maritime route for oil and gas, causing global energy prices to soar.
