According to data from the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz almost completely stopped.

This happened after the United States (US) and Israel launched an aggression against Iran on February 28, 2026.

Iran then responded to the attack, one of which was by restricting traffic in the Strait of Hormuz.

Before the outbreak of war, the Strait of Hormuz was usually crossed by between 111 and 151 ships per day.

If averaged, during the pre-war period of February 1-27, 2026, the number of ships crossing this strait reached 129 per day.

However, on the first day of the US-Israeli attack on Iran, the number dropped to 81 ships.

The traffic continued to decrease, until the first weekend of March 2026, there were only 4 ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz, a decrease of 97% compared to the daily average before the war.

Meanwhile, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that they did not completely close the Strait of Hormuz.

"The strait was only closed for tankers and ships belonging to our enemies, those who attacked us and their allies. Others are free to cross," said Araghchi in an interview with broadcaster MS Now on Saturday (14/3/2026), as quoted from Katadata.co.id.
