周三通过霍尔木兹海峡的船只数量降至 23 艘 [1]。这一数字较前一周的 47 艘大幅下降，而冲突爆发前的日均通行量为 138 艘 [1]。本周内，三艘船只在靠近阿曼水域的美国推荐路线上遭到袭击，其中包括一艘卡塔尔液化天然气油轮、一艘沙特原油油轮以及一艘利比里亚注册油轮 [1]。
美国总统特朗普指责伊朗违反停火协议，美军随即对伊朗目标实施了打击 [1]。作为回应，伊朗指控美国违反了临时协议并攻击了相关的美军目标 [1]。此前双方曾签署谅解备忘录，规定伊朗在 60 天内免费保障商船安全通行，但美方随后撤销了部分制裁豁免 [1]。特朗普在北约峰会上表示该谅解备忘录已“结束”，尽管谈判可能继续 [1]。
面对局势变化，伊朗最高军事指挥部重申，只有伊朗确定的航线才是唯一安全路线 [1]。此前双方曾试图恢复航道通行，但因伊朗坚持控制航线并要求收费而受阻，美国及盟友对此持反对态度 [1]。随着最新袭击事件发生，美伊关系再次紧张，霍尔木兹海峡的航道通行陷入停滞 [1]。
Shipping traffic in the Strait of Hormuz has dropped sharply following a fresh round of mutual attacks between the United States and Iran [1]. On Wednesday, only 23 vessels passed through the strait compared to 47 last week; prior to the conflict, daily throughput averaged around 138 ships [1]. Three specific incidents occurred this week on US-recommended routes near Omani waters: a Qatar LNG tanker, a Saudi crude oil tanker, and a Liberian-flagged vessel were all attacked [1].
The escalation follows disputes over navigation rights. Iran maintains that only its designated shipping lanes are safe, while the United States and its allies oppose these restrictions [1]. A memorandum of understanding signed on June 17 stipulated that Iran would guarantee free passage for merchant ships within 60 days; however, Washington subsequently revoked certain sanction exemptions [1]. President Trump stated at a NATO summit that this agreement had "ended," though he noted negotiations could continue [1].
Tensions rose after the US accused Iran of violating the ceasefire and striking American targets in response to Iranian attacks on its own objectives [1]. In retaliation for these violations, US forces launched strikes against Iranian targets [1].
