Tracking data indicates that no tankers have traversed the Strait of Hormuz today, marking Sunday as one of the most tranquil days in the waterway since the conflict started.
This comes after the announcement by Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Saturday that the strait has been closed to traffic once more.
Earlier today, two sanctioned tankers transporting liquid petroleum gas were departing from the Persian Gulf when they were suddenly redirected by Iran’s military, as reported by the Iranian state-affiliated news outlet Tasnim.
Footage from the ship monitoring platform Marine Tracker displays numerous ships at anchor. These are shown by the tiny circles grouped on both sides of the strait. The other vessels navigated in circles to steer clear of the waterway.
A few small boats have been seen entering the channel, but they mostly include tugboats or vessels flying the Iranian flag.
