Vessel tracker shows Hormuz traffic after Iran shuts strait again

Apr 19, 2026, 05:51 GMT+1

Vessel-tracking footage from MarineTraffic showed ship traffic in the Strait of Hormuz early on Sunday after Iran said it had closed the waterway again.

Iran had temporarily reopened the strait on Friday following a ceasefire agreement in Lebanon, which had raised hopes for broader peace talks, but later said it had shut it again.
