Shipping data indicates that vessels are now avoiding the Iranian side of the Strait of Hormuz, diverting through Omani channels instead. Over the past 24 hours, no commercial ships have used the Iranian traffic lane, according to reports.
This shift comes as maritime safety fears continue to drive shipping away from Iran's waters. The Strait of Hormuz is a critical chokepoint for global oil and gas transit, and any sustained avoidance could affect shipping patterns and insurance costs.
