Hormuz Transits Nearly Double as Iran Implements Selective Passage Policy

Maritime intelligence shows Hormuz vessel transits have nearly doubled in recent days, though overall traffic remains down 95% from pre-war levels. FM Araghchi stated the strait is 'open, but closed to our enemies.' Indian, Saudi, and Pakistani-flagged vessels have been granted passage, indicating Tehran is using selective access as a diplomatic lever to peel GCC states from the US-Israel coalition.
