[In the past three days, only 70 merchant ships escorted by the U.S. passed through the Strait of Hormuz, lower than the pre-conflict daily average of 138 ships] Odaily Planet Daily News: Data released on the 5th by the U.S.-led Combined Maritime Information Center shows that from July 2 to July 4, a total of 70 merchant ships escorted by the U.S. passed through the Strait of Hormuz within a 72-hour period, which is below the pre-conflict daily average of 138 ships. According to the announcement, the daily number of vessels coordinated for escort by the U.S. has continued to decline, with 33 ships on July 2, 29 ships on July 3, and 18 ships on July 4. The Strait of Hormuz currently has two navigational routes: the southern route near Oman and the northern route controlled by Iran. The announcement assessed the threat level across the entire Strait of Hormuz as "high" and noted that there remains a risk of naval mines in the strait's waters, with related mine-clearing operations being conducted throughout the area. Additionally, interference with global navigation satellite systems has become normalized across the region, posing ongoing risks to the safety of vessel navigation.
