Tensions in the region have moved from potential to reality, impacting maritime transit. A small number of vessels, including an Indian gas tanker with 33 sailors, have successfully transited the area. However, thousands of other sailors remain stuck under ongoing threats. The situation involves the transit of non-weaponized cargo, including medicine and civilians. The exact status of all transits remains uncertain. The US has completed Operation Epic Fury against Iran, which involved halting transit in the Strait of Hormuz. This follows Iran's decree demanding ships follow designated routes and the US halting transit.
