Strait of Hormuz remains closed, ships trapped.
Over 800 ships are stuck in the Strait of Hormuz. There is a ceasefire, but shipping has not started again. This is causing problems for global trade and oil.
The Strait of Hormuz is a narrow waterway that is very important for shipping oil. Iran has placed mines in the water, which makes it dangerous for ships. The United States and Iran are talking about a solution, but it is not easy. Many tankers, around 4,000, are blocked there. This disruption affects trade routes and worries about the global economy. The Suez Canal is also closed because of a ship that ran aground.
