Strait of Hormuz
The Strait of Hormuz remains a critical maritime chokepoint for oil transport. Vessel traffic increased temporarily after the June 10‑11 2026 escalation but fell again, reflecting continued disruptions. Iran has attacked ships in and around the waterway, targeting vessels such as the GFS Pride (sank on Oct 12), the Singapore fuel‑tanker, and the Cape Dao. Over a week in October, 12 ships were struck, a record high. Reports say 12.6 million barrels per day passed through on 13 Oct, below the 15 million at the end of September. U.S. Navy assistance during the first 10 days of October rose 85 % from August. Brent crude rose above $110 a barrel due to the attacks. The U.S. and regional partners maintain coordinated protection, and the U.S. Navy increased escort operations. The closure of the Strait has earned mention in the April Short‑Term Energy Outlook and the BIS Annual Economic Report 2026.
