Maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz will return to pre-conflict normal levels by September 30, 2026.

Maritime traffic through the Strait of Hormuz is currently recovering, with daily crossings increasing and oil prices falling due to increased supply. However, shipping confidence remains fragile, with some vessels still performing U-turns or detours, and traffic is reported to be far below pre-conflict levels. Qatar has announced the full resumption of its maritime activities, but Iran continues to deploy forces and there is ongoing debate regarding the Strait's future.
