By
John Power
Summary
Shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has dropped sharply after Iran announced it closed the waterway in response to Israeli strikes on Lebanon. Ship tracking data from Windward shows only 12 vessels crossed on Sunday, down from 35 the previous day. Five of eight vessels entering the strait had their Automatic Identification Systems turned off, indicating a shift toward dark, sanctioned, Iranian-linked shipping patterns. The disruption comes as US and Iranian officials hold talks to preserve a fragile peace framework.
