Iran Says Strait of Hormuz Ship Traffic to Return to Pre‑War Levels Within 30 Days

 Iran’s semi‑official Tasnim News Agency reported that ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is expected to return to pre‑war levels within 30 days, signaling a potential normalization of maritime flows through the strategic waterway.

The announcement comes as part of ongoing regional diplomatic efforts aimed at easing tensions and restoring stability in one of the world’s most critical energy shipping routes. Officials indicated that the anticipated increase in vessel movements is tied to a potential agreement under discussion, which could mark a turning point in securing freedom of navigation across the Gulf.

The Strait of Hormuz, a vital corridor for global oil and gas shipments, has been heavily impacted by the recent conflict. Iran’s statement suggests that negotiations are advancing toward a framework that would reopen maritime flows and stabilize trade routes, offering relief to international markets and regional stakeholders.
