Escalating tensions between Iran and Israel, following the April 1 Damascus consulate strike, have driven shipowners to reroute tankers away from the Strait of Hormuz, slashing transits to historic lows by late March 2024. Satellite tracking from firms like Vortexa shows daily averages dipping below 10 oil tankers on several days, down over 50% from typical 20-25, amid Iranian threats of retaliation and blockade risks. Trader consensus on Polymarket prices 0-10 ships at 57% and 10-20 at 28%, reflecting real-time AIS data, U.S. Navy advisories, and fears of further disruptions before Iran's eventual April 13 response. Historical precedents like the 1980s Tanker War underscore the strait’s vulnerability to conflict.
