Ship tracking data shows that about 10 ships attempted to pass through the Strait of Hormuz on the 18th but ultimately turned back. Shipping routes show that multiple ships turned back after reaching the waters near Iran's Larak Island. Data shows that many of these ships were oil tankers, with their destination listed as India in the Automatic Identification System. Iranian Foreign Minister Zarif announced on the 17th that during the ceasefire between Lebanon and Israel, the Strait of Hormuz would be open to all commercial ships. However, Iranian media reported on the 18th that due to the United States' "repeated violations of its commitments," the Iranian military has tightened control over the Strait of Hormuz.
