TRIESTE –<\/strong> The Strait of Hormuz remains at the centre of the crisis<\/a>: just hours after the announcement of a conditional reopening, new Iranian statements have reignited uncertainty<\/strong> and effectively halted transits.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the past few hours, some international sources have reported statements attributed to Iran claiming that the strait had been \u201cclosed again\u201d<\/strong>, with explicit threats against vessels attempting to pass without authorization. These claims, however, have not been confirmed by multilateral institutional sources.<\/p>\n

On the opposite side, the U.S. military command (US Central Command) has reiterated that there is no formal closure of the strait<\/strong>. The result is a hybrid situation<\/strong>. The strait is not officially closed, but traffic remains drastically reduced. Several shipping companies are suspending the transits that had just resumed<\/strong> or keeping vessels waiting outside the area. Market data indicate a significant drop in passages, with immediate effects on logistics chains and energy flows.<\/p>\n

In recent days, there has been no single position on whether the Strait of Hormuz is open or closed. Iran has spoken of only a temporary reopening, subject to coordination with its own armed forces, and therefore not of a return to normality. The United States, by contrast, is pushing for a full and unrestricted reopening. The most reliable sources indicate that the strait is not truly open: transits are limited, controlled and accompanied by threats.<\/strong> Traffic data confirm a situation close to a de facto blockade, with very few vessels in transit compared with normal levels.<\/p>\n

From a geopolitical standpoint, the strait is being used as a negotiating lever. For the maritime sector, caution prevails: companies are waiting for greater clarity before resuming transits. Insurance premiums remain high and the risk to ships and crews is considered critical. Even with a ceasefire in place, the normalization of traffic appears likely to be slow and gradual, with possible controlled corridors and special procedures before a return to standard conditions.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
