Maritime tracking data shows shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz rises to its busiest level in about two months following a U.S.-Iran deal aimed at halting the war. Multiple outlets cite figures from AXSMarine, a maritime tracking firm, saying that 25 verified commercial vessels cross the strait on Thursday. The reported 25 crossings represent the highest single-day count since mid-April (and since April 18, according to one report). One source notes the number is substantially above usual levels, describing it as more than three to five times higher than the average daily volume recorded in early June, with another report putting the daily average during the first ten days of June at roughly five crossings. The outlets also describe the strait as newly reopened, implying resumed movement after an earlier period of reduced activity. Overall, the articles present the same core point: verified commercial crossings surge to the highest observed in the past two months, coinciding with the U.S.-Iran agreement.
