The Strait of Hormuz remains severely disrupted due to the ongoing US-Iran conflict, with tanker traffic at roughly one-tenth of pre-war levels and ~65% of outbound laden tankers transiting in "dark" (AIS-off) mode as of May 2026. Over 13 million barrels per day of oil remain stranded within the Gulf, with insurance premiums elevated, oilfields shut in, and a full recovery contingent on political resolution and logistics normalization.
The Strait of Hormuz remains near-totally closed due to an ongoing US-Iran conflict, with tanker traffic running at roughly one-tenth of pre-war levels; around 65% of outbound laden tankers are transiting in "dark" (AIS-off) mode, severely distorting cargo visibility and market transparency. Over 13 million barrels per day of oil exports remain stranded in the Persian Gulf, with a slow and fragile drawdown underway, while insurance risks, logistical constraints, and potential Iranian tolling continue to threaten any return to normalcy.
