Amid the escalating US-Iran conflict sparked by late February 2026 strikes, Iranian naval forces imposed severe restrictions on the Strait of Hormuz, a vital maritime chokepoint for global oil shipments, causing commercial ship transits to plummet over 95% from pre-war averages of 120-138 daily vessels. Maritime intelligence data from Lloyd's List and Kpler confirms just 181-220 total transits for March—averaging under 10 per day, with end-of-month figures even lower amid mine deployments, attacks on non-compliant ships, and permission-based passage limited to Iranian-linked or allied vessels from China, Russia, India, and Pakistan. Trader consensus at 100% on 0-10 reflects this verified collapse, with shifts requiring improbable de-escalation, full military clearance, or diplomatic sanctions relief reopening unrestricted access.
