Jebel Ali Port has announced the resumption of operations, but ship passage through the Strait of Hormuz remains severely obstructed. Major shipping companies have instructed their vessels to remain in safe zones, as port operations within the Persian Gulf continue to be restricted.

According to Iran's student news agency, an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander stated during a live TV broadcast that any ships attempting to pass through the Strait of Hormuz will be destroyed, stating, "We will not allow a drop of oil to flow out of this region."

As reported by Iran's Fars News Agency, as of that day, no oil tankers had passed through the Strait of Hormuz. Approximately 26 tankers were lingering near the strait, with an additional 27 tankers completely halted, totaling a carrying capacity of 12 million barrels of crude oil.

The United States and Israel launched a military strike against Iran on February 28, after which the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps announced a prohibition on any ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz that night.

According to Clarkson Research, ship traffic through the Strait of Hormuz on March 1st was down by 80% compared to "normal" levels. It is estimated that around 3,200 vessels are currently in the Persian Gulf region, representing 4% of the global fleet capacity, including 112 crude oil tankers, 195 product tankers, 241 bulk carriers, 114 container ships, and 21 VLGCs. Additionally, around 500 vessels are "waiting" outside the Gulf, primarily anchored along the coasts of the UAE and Oman.
