Analysis: The fragile ceasefire between the United States and Iran has not yet resolved the shipping dilemma, and specific information is still lacking for shipping recovery Odaily Daily reported that despite the fragile ceasefire agreement reached between the United States and Iran, which led to a sharp drop in oil prices, shipping in the Strait of Hormuz remained blocked on Thursday, and the passage conditions in the region have not improved. On Wednesday, only seven ships with some connection to Iran were observed sailing out of the Persian Gulf. Iranian state media reported that in order to demonstrate Tehran's efforts to officially control the waterway, Iranian ports and maritime organizations have released two shipping safety routes. On the conventional route through this narrow strait, there may be various anti-ship mines, so these routes are necessary. Martin Kelly, the head of consulting at EOS Risk Group, stated that revisiting the issue of mines in the Strait of Hormuz is the "worst case scenario for the shipping industry," and that restoring safe passage would take at least several months if the transportation routes normally used by ships were to be mined. The International Chamber of Shipping, an industry organization, stated that more work needs to be done before ships can pass through on a large scale again. The Secretary General of the Association, Thomas Cazakos, stated that there is currently not much movement as there has been no reliable confirmation on ensuring safe passage, and no specific information has been received on how passage can be restored to normal.
