Is the Strait of Hormuz Open? | What Impact Will This Have on Shipping? | Hormuz Data | US Sealift

The US and Israel initiation of Operation Epic Fury has led to a call by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps to close the Strait of Hormuz. We examine the data coming from the ships traversing the region and the alerts being sent out by various maritime organizations to shipping. We also discuss how this will impact the global tanker market and if the US is moving large ground and support forces into the area.
