Iran Deal Eases Shipping Threats In Strait Of Hormuz

According to a notice issued by the U.S.-led Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC), the threat level was reduced to "substantial" from "severe."

The threat level for ships traveling through the Strait of Hormuz has been lowered following the announcement of a U.S.-Iran agreement aimed at ending months of conflict in the region.

According to a notice issued by the U.S.-led Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC), the threat level was reduced to "substantial" from "severe."

The organization said Iran’s Revolutionary Guard has shown less volatile behavior since the deal was announced and noted that the U.S. Navy continues to provide security oversight.

However, the advisory warned that attacks remain a strong possibility and that naval mines continue to pose a danger to vessels operating near the waterway.

The report said shipping activity remains well below pre-war levels. Data cited by JMIC showed only a small number of tankers and commercial ships transited the strait on Tuesday, compared with more than 100 vessels daily before the conflict.

Maritime industry groups also cautioned that traffic may not fully recover until credible security assurances are provided and mine-free routes are established.
