Overview

Since the US-Iran memorandum of understanding on June 17, over 500 ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz, but renewed hostilities have recently brought shipping to a near-standstill. Approximately 6,000 seafarers are stranded aboard hundreds of vessels as Gulf countries brace for further attacks. US officials anticipate the conflict could last from several days to weeks, contingent on Iran's continuation of attacks on commercial shipping in this strategic waterway.
