Oil and gas tanker traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a critical maritime chokepoint, has seen disruptions as the U.S.-Israeli campaign, Operation Epic Fury, continues targeting Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps command-and-control infrastructure across multiple Iranian cities; as of Sunday morning, only a limited number of tankers were observed exiting the Strait, while separate news reports indicate a sanctioned oil tanker was also attacked.

On Sunday morning, Automatic Identification System (AIS) vessel-tracking data showed that tanker traffic through the most critical energy chokepoint in the world, which handles about 20% of global petroleum liquids consumption and roughly 27% of global seaborne oil trade, had slowed to a near standstill, with tankers in holding patterns on both sides of the Strait’s entrance and exit.
