Kepler Data Shows Only Three Ships Transited Strait of Hormuz in Past 24 Hours

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, data released by Kepler, a company specializing in ship movement tracking, indicates that only three cargo vessels transited the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours. This information was reported by Al Jazeera, citing Mehr News Agency.

The Islamic Republic of Iran has repeatedly declared safe shipping lanes in the Strait of Hormuz, stating that passage through alternative routes constitutes a violation. Tehran has vowed to prevent any disruption to the control of the Strait of Hormuz. The report also suggests that U.S. aggressions against Iran have contributed to regional insecurity and interfered with ship movements in the Strait.

Previously, The National Interest, in a report quoting geopolitical risk analyst Vasai Mar, highlighted Iran’s strategic advantage in the Strait of Hormuz due to its geographical positioning. The publication noted that Iran’s complete control over the northern coastline of the strait allows it to maintain dominance using coastal missiles and fast boats, without the necessity of deploying a naval fleet.
