Strait of Hormuz
International marine traffic is currently transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
Infact verdict: Mixed (42/100).
The evidence suggests that marine traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is minimal due to regional tensions. Sources such as ShipTraffic.net and The New York Times mention a significant reduction in ship crossings as of May 2026. Although there is some activity, it is not at normal levels. Consequently, while there is ongoing traffic, it is limited, aligning less with the claim as it stands.
