Shipping data released on Wednesday showed that six commodity vessels passed through the Strait of Hormuz on Tuesday, compared to nine vessels the previous day and an average of about 12 vessels over ten days.
These figures may change, as some vessels typically choose not to operate their transponders during the voyage.
An Iranian news agency reported on Tuesday night that the US military targeted a small oil tanker with a missile strike near Kharg Island, following reports of explosions heard in the area.
