FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin Ships in the Strait of Hormuz have been warned by Iran’s navy that any vessel attempting to pass without permission could be “targeted and destroyed,” BBC reports. Although a two-week ceasefire in the wider US-Israel war with Iran includes a condition for safe passage, very few ships have actually resumed transit so far. According to BBC, early data shows only three ships crossing shortly after the ceasefire, compared to about 138 per day before the conflict. Many vessels are still stuck in the Gulf, with estimates of nearly 800 awaiting movement.
