Hormuz Flows Tick Up for Iran-Approved Ships Amid Gulf Blockade The number of vessels transiting Hormuz with their signals on is ticking gently higher, even as the waterway remains effectively closed to most commercial shipping without clearance from Iran.

🚢 Strait of Hormuz update: shipping is still down ~90%. Only Iran‑approved vessels are passing, often after paying huge “fees.” This is a selective blockade — and a massive shock to global oil supply.
