Hormuz tanker transits hit two-month low amid record-high attacks

Maritime security data indicates that attacks on tankers in the Strait of Hormuz reached their highest weekly frequency since the start of the conflict. This surge in hostilities has significantly disrupted shipping traffic through the critical energy chokepoint. Despite recent efforts by Gulf producers to increase exports, the heightened risk environment is discouraging commercial vessel transits. The increased precision and frequency of these attacks continue to threaten the stability of global energy supply chains.
