Joint Maritime Information Center: Commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remained at reduced levels, with vessels transiting via both the southern Omani corridor and the northern Iranian-controlled route. Operator caution following recent attacks persisted, and several companies delayed passages. US-assisted commercial transits continued despite the elevated threat environment. Throughout the period, IRGC harassment activity persisted, including, hailing, UAS overflight, and targeted surveillance of merchant shipping. These actions reflected Iran’s intent to assert presence along key transit lanes and maintain pressure on AIS-active vessels.
