Strait of Hormuz Under Siege | Johannesburg News
Description
Shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz hit a new low as just four vessels passed through Monday, down from seven the prior day—most moving along Iran’s side. Tensions spiked after U.S.-Iran skirmishes, with no major crude or LNG tankers seen. Meanwhile, Yemen’s Houthis declared a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia, threatening global energy flows. The chaos deepened with a distress call from a tanker allegedly hit by an unknown object in the strait, two Greek ships struck by projectiles off Oman, and a drone attack on a Black Sea terminal—creating a volatile, multi-front crisis that’s reshaping maritime security.
