Iran’s Grip on Hormuz Strait Erodes as Oman Route Sees Surge in Traffic

Recent data indicate Iran has partially lost control of the Strait of Hormuz, as most vessel traffic in the waterway shifts to the Oman route under UN authorization; a strong U.S. naval presence appears to be guiding higher shipments through safer channels while Iran’s toll-collection influence wanes. Analysts note the strait remains contested, with ongoing talks between Oman and Iran about ensuring freer navigation, and overall oil flows still well below pre-war levels.

Hormuz data undercuts U.S. control claim as shipping traffic fades

White House officials push back on Trump’s claim of “total control” over the Strait of Hormuz, arguing traffic is better than some trackers suggest while data undermines U.S. dominance. Energy Secretary Wright cited “best available data” placing Arabian Gulf exports around 15 million barrels per day, yet data tracker Kpler logged only about 14 ship crossings on a Tuesday, with 11 using Iran-approved routes. Wright declined to share methodologies, provoking scrutiny over undercounting. The dispute comes as Iran talks intensify and markets doubt a swift resumption of flows; gas prices have topped $4 per gallon, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent warned the Strait could become irrelevant within the next two years due to underground pipelines.

Hormuz Traffic Rebounds as Open Sea Lane Draws Fresh Oil Shipments

Following a US–Iran agreement to reopen the Strait of Hormuz, at least 20 tankers crossed on Thursday (25 ships total), the highest daily tally since June 2, as Iranian VLCCs resume transponder signals and most flows follow Iran’s designated route; traffic remains below prewar levels, and tolls are suspended for 60 days with talks planned on future tolls and lane governance.

Trump Team Bets on Strait of Hormuz Reopening Within 30 Days, Analysts Warn of Slow Recovery

The Trump team says the Strait of Hormuz will return to normal shipping within a month, but shipping analysts project only about 40% of prewar traffic in that timeframe, with full normalization not expected until well into 2027. Key concerns include mines, roughly 600 ships still trapped, ongoing tolls negotiations, and questions about how quickly tankers will re-enter the Gulf after demining.

Iranian crude tankers exit Gulf under US blockade, Kpler confirms

Three Iranian crude tankers—The Deep Sea, Sonia I and Diona—left Kharg Island and crossed the Strait of Hormuz, marking the first exit since the US blockade began, according to Kpler. The ships loaded in early April and transferred cargo near Singapore, with broader transfers linked to dozens of Iranian cargoes moving toward China in the Singapore area since March.

U.S. crude exports near record as Asia absorbs Middle East disruption

U.S. crude exports are projected to hit a record 5.2 million barrels per day in May as Asian buyers buy more to offset lost Middle Eastern supply amid the Iran war, according to Kpler. The surge underscores a global supply race and could affect domestic fuel prices and inflation, with potential calls for export restrictions if disruptions persist.
