Since the US and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding on June 17, more than 500 ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz. Despite this resumption of maritime traffic, many vessels remain stuck in the strait, indicating ongoing challenges in the region's navigation and security dynamics.

The Strait of Hormuz is a critical global shipping route, and the agreement between the US and Iran aimed to ease tensions and facilitate safer passage. However, the continued presence of ships unable to transit highlights that issues remain unresolved.
