According to data released by ship tracking agency Kepler on August 31, the number of visible merchant ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz this past weekend has dropped to 5 per day due to fears of being attacked. Reuters quoted relevant data as reporting that during the weekend of August 29 to 30, all ships passing through the strait were small ships, including two liquefied petroleum gas carriers. However, since some ships have turned off automatic identification systems to avoid attacks, the number of ships actually passing through the strait is likely that more ships will actually pass through the strait. Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Garib Abadi said on the 29th that the Strait of Hormuz is currently completely closed, and any ship that passes through the strait must go through Iran's coordination and permission. The British Maritime Trade Operations Office issued a notice on the 30th saying that an oil tanker was attacked by unknown projectiles while crossing the Strait of Hormuz on the 29th. On the 30th, the US military attacked two rocket launchers located on Iran's Larak Island near the Strait of Hormuz. This operation is the first time in a month that the US military has carried out a military attack on an Iranian target. The Strait of Hormuz is the “throat” of global energy transportation. Previously, it undertook about one-fifth of the world's transportation of crude oil and refined oil products, and is also an important liquefied natural gas transportation channel. However, due to the recent repetition of the situation in the Middle East, strait traffic continues intermittently.
