The prominent New York Times newspaper reported in its latest investigative piece that most large commercial ships remain completely halted in the Strait of Hormuz, deeply fearing potential and unpredictable attacks by Iranian military forces.
According to this highly detailed report, only two brave ships managed to successfully pass through this exceptionally strategic global waterway on Friday. This remarkable low firmly marks the absolute lowest number of recorded crossings since the fragile ceasefire agreement between the US and Iran was enacted.
Major global shipping companies are still stubbornly refusing to allow their valuable commercial vessels to transit the hazardous area. This persistent hesitation directly stems from Iran's prior aggressive declaration that any safe passage through the strait must be coordinated exclusively with its naval military.
