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