Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz continues despite the attack on the Singapore-flagged Ever Lovely, with many ships routing along the UAE-Oman coast to avoid Iranian waters. Iran warns it cannot guarantee safety for vessels not on its designated route, while the U.S. says transit must remain free. The IMO’s evacuation plan was suspended after the attack, leaving the dispute over safe passage and who controls the route unresolved.
