Washington and Tehran dispute control of Hormuz
The article discusses the tension between the United States and Iran over control of the Strait of Hormuz and its impact on maritime navigation in this vital corridor. Iran asserted that the strait is "under its control and management," while Washington announced its ability to maintain a naval blockade and sustain economic pressure on Tehran. There has been a noticeable decline in vessel traffic through the strait, which has fallen below its monthly average of 12 ships, with only 9 ships passing yesterday. Additionally, the corridor has witnessed attacks on two tankers belonging to Abu Dhabi, with the UAE blaming Iran for responsibility. Data also indicate that many ships are avoiding using transmitting and receiving devices, complicating efforts to monitor the volume of maritime activity in the passage.
