Aerial Imagery Shows Vessel Buildup on Both Sides of Strait of Hormuz

Aerial imagery shows a significant concentration of vessels on both the eastern and western approaches to the Strait of Hormuz. The buildup comes amid heightened tensions following the outbreak of the Iran-Israel-US conflict, with the strait serving as a key flashpoint throughout the crisis. Iran has previously threatened to bar all shipping from passing through the waterway, through which roughly 20% of global oil supplies transit. The imagery suggests continued heavy naval activity in the region.
