The number of ships navigating the Strait of Hormuz is gradually increasing, and the blockade tactics are evolving into a tool of economic warfare.

BlockBeats message: On April 1, the number of vessels passing through the Strait of Hormuz and the signal strength they emit are gradually increasing, even though Iran still maintains an effective blockade on most unlicensed commercial ships.

According to Bloomberg compiled tracking data, as of Monday, the weekly average number of bidirectional transit vessels rose to seven, from five the week before. While it is still far below normal traffic levels, this increase suggests that a small, selective fleet—mainly non-hostile Asian countries—continues to use the port. By allowing friendly vessels to pass while restricting Western ones, Iran’s blockade tactics have evolved into a powerful tool of economic warfare. (Jin10)
