America again left blank about Hormuz The US Secretary of Energy claimed regarding the situation in the Strait of Hormuz that tankers pass through this strait at night and are accompanied by the US Navy. Wright also rejected the statistics of maritime tracking institutions and claimed that our data on the passage of ships through the Strait of Hormuz is not an estimate, but an accurate reality. These statements are made while, according to ship tracking data, the traffic of vessels through the Strait of Hormuz in the last days of last week was in single digits and is still much lower than the average of 14 vessels in the past 10 days. For example, last Saturday, only one Chinese tanker with a clear tracking system managed to pass through the Strait of Hormuz; while before the US and Israel war against Iran, more than 100 ships passed through this strait daily.
