Copilot says you are wrong:
Yes — ships are moving through the Strait of Hormuz today, based on multiple real‑time AIS feeds that show active tanker and cargo traffic.
The most authoritative live trackers indicate:
- ~400 vessels currently in the strait, with tankers, cargo ships, and support vessels underway.
- Multiple tankers are shown underway right now, including Arabian Star, Persian Dawn, Desert Eagle, and others.
- Traffic lanes remain open, though there are heightened security alerts due to Iranian naval exercises and increased patrol activity. Ships are still transiting despite these advisories.
- Additional trackers confirm continuous AIS movement of tankers and cargo vessels in both eastbound and westbound lanes.
What’s happening
- Ships are actively underway, not halted.
- Some congestion warnings exist at the narrowest point due to multiple large tankers converging.
- A disabled vessel near Larak Island caused minor diversions, but traffic continues.
- Iranian live‑fire naval exercises are ongoing for the next 48 hours, but shipping lanes remain open.
