IRGC-linked Tasnim said the controlled-passage channels through the Strait of Hormuz were closed “until further notice” after a ceasefire violation, until guarantees were given that the U.S. blockade would be fully lifted. MarineTraffic showed no vessels in the waterway afterward, and Maersk said transit “should be avoided.”
Why it matters
With the largest shippers pulling back, even Iran’s own designated route stopped functioning as the ceasefire deadline approached.
