Amid the fragile US-Iran ceasefire, only a limited number of vessels are transiting the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz, including two India-bound ships. Despite the truce aimed at reopening the route, maritime movement remains highly restricted, with Iran tightly controlling passage. Reports indicate that only a handful of ships are being allowed through each day, far below normal levels, raising concerns over global energy supply and trade disruptions. Strait of Hormuz remains a critical chokepoint for oil shipments, and continued uncertainty highlights the ceasefire’s limited impact on restoring normal shipping operations. (PC: The Hindu)
