International market service agency Kepler released data on the 10th showing that on July 9, the number of ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz region dropped from 30 the previous day to 22. This is the second day in a row that traffic volume in the strait has declined. Kepler said that this data includes commercial and non-commercial vessels, and the traffic volume of commercial vessels is slightly higher than that of non-commercial ships. “The military confrontation between the US and Iran has once again escalated, weakening the market's confidence that diplomatic efforts can bring stability to the situation in the near future.” After the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding was reached, the Strait of Hormuz had two main passages, the northern channel controlled by Iran and the southern waterway near the side of Oman. The US military provided navigation assistance in the southern channel. According to Kepler's data, under the influence of recent attacks on ships in the waters off Oman, shipping operators continue to prefer to choose the Iranian side of the channel. Only 1 ship passed through the Omani side of the channel on the 9th. Recently, the US military launched a series of military attacks against Iran in response to Iran's attack on merchant ships in the Strait of Hormuz. In response, the Iranian military launched attacks on several US military targets in the Middle East.
