Shipping traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remained unchanged on Wednesday despite ongoing tensions between the United States and Iran, according to recent data. Nine vessel transits were recorded, matching the previous day's figure, as per Kpler's shiptracking data. The US and Iran both claimed conflicting positions on the strait's status, with the US President stating it was open and Iran asserting it remained closed.
