Hormuz Tracker: Limited Transits Before Trump Announces Blockade

Shipping flows through the Strait of Hormuz continued to operate at reduced levels on Sunday, before President Donald Trump announced an immediate blockade of the critical maritime chokepoint by the US Navy.

Trump’s comments in a Truth Social post come after US-Iran peace negotiations in Pakistan ended without an agreement, putting a fragile ceasefire at risk. Tehran’s control over Hormuz emerged as a sticking point in the talks, with Trump lashing out at Iran charging vessels to transit the strait.
