Financial Times Chart Shows Sharp Drop in Strait of Hormuz Shipping Traffic

A Financial Times chart is circulating showing a dramatic decline in vessel traffic through the Strait of Hormuz in recent days. The data visualizes the impact of the ongoing military conflict between Iran, Israel, and the United States on one of the world's most critical oil shipping chokepoints. The Strait of Hormuz carries roughly 20% of global oil supply, and the sharp drop in transits reflects the acute disruption to global energy trade since the conflict began.
