Iran-US war latest: Strait of Hormuz shipping halts while Israel reveals alleged Iranian plot to kill Trump
- Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz came to a near standstill after the US carried out a second day of strikes on Iran, raising fresh doubts about the fragile truce between the two sides.
- Just two tankers had sailed through the strait in the early hours of Thursday, while the US-supported Omani corridor was empty of observable traffic.
- Shipping industry sources said vessels were increasingly switching off their public AIS tracking transponders, making it harder to see all of the ships crossing.
