Current AIS data and vessel tracking confirm consistent commercial throughput, albeit with heightened risk premiums. While regional kinetic activity remains elevated, particularly impacting Gulf approaches, the Strait's strategic choke point status ensures robust naval deterrence maintains primary transit integrity for crude and LNG flows. A 0-10 daily average indicates an unprecedented, sustained blockade or direct kinetic conflict, which current intelligence does not support. Typical daily movements are orders of magnitude higher; isolated interdictions do not halt aggregated traffic to this extent. 98% NO — invalid if UN Security Council Resolution 2722 is unilaterally revoked by a P5 member.
