[Strait of Hormuz Traffic Drops to Only 2 Ships Per Day, All Using Iranian Routes; Negotiation Outcome to Determine Future Passage] ⑴ Ship tracking data shows that on May 25, confirmed traffic in the monitored area of the Strait of Hormuz dropped to only 2 ships, continuing the pattern of higher traffic on weekends and reduced activity on weekdays. Both transit vessels used Iranian routes. ⑵ No new physical attacks have been recorded in the area since May 10, but signal jamming continues. The extremely low number of transits indicates that traffic in the strait remains narrow, highly dependent on specific routes, and affected by Iranian customs clearance operations. ⑶ Negotiations between the United States and Iran remain a key variable. Until the two sides reach an agreement on a clear navigation framework, the right of passage through the strait may remain selectively open.
