Gate News message: March 31. The number of ships transiting the Strait of Hormuz and signal strength are slowly increasing, even as Iran continues to impose a blockade on most unlicensed commercial vessels. Tracking data show that as of Monday, the average weekly two-way transit of ships rose to 7 from 5 the previous week. Although it is still far from normal levels of traffic, this increase indicates that a small, selective fleet—mainly from non-adversarial Asian countries—continues to pass through the strait. By allowing friendly vessels to transit while restricting Western ones, Iran’s blockade tactics have evolved into a tool of economic warfare.
