RT and Al-Monitor report that daily vessel passages through the Strait of Hormuz have fallen from 125-140 to approximately 10 since late February, with hundreds of ships backed up and 20,000 seafarers stranded. Iran has established the Persian Gulf Strait Authority requiring permits and IRGC coordination for transit. A shaky ceasefire and Pakistan-mediated talks between the U.S. and Iran are also noted.
