Tehran [Iran], May 9 : No ships have passed through the Strait of Hormuz in the past 24 hours, RT reported, quoting data by the Marine Traffic.
As per reports, prior to the US-Iran war, the daily average was more than 130 vessels.
Meanwhile, the Gulf states are vouching collectively for a United Nations Security Council resolution that threatens Iran with sanctions and other measures if it does not halt attacks on ships in the Strait of Hormuz, stop imposing "illegal tolls", and disclose the location of all mines to allow freedom of navigation, as per Al Jazeera.
Speaking at the UN on Thursday, top diplomats from Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) stressed the importance of resuming pre-war traffic levels in the Strait of Hormuz.
The three Gulf nations are co-drafting the resolution alongwith Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the US. These nations also demand that Iran "immediately participate in and enable" UN efforts to establish a humanitarian corridor in the strait to deliver vital aid, fertiliser and other goods, as reported by Al Jazeera.
Meanwhile, Iran's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Amir-Saeid Iravani, has accused the United States of violating the ceasefire through military actions near the Strait of Hormuz, according to Iran's state broadcaster IRIB.
In a letter addressed to UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres and the President of the UN Security Council, Iravani said alleged US military action against two Iranian oil tankers near Jask Port and the Strait of Hormuz, along with attacks on Iranian coastal areas, constituted "a clear violation of the ceasefire" and "a gross violation of Article 2, Paragraph 4 of the UN Charter".
He warned that continued US military activity in the Persian Gulf and the Strait of Hormuz could have "catastrophic consequences" extending beyond the region and threatening international peace and security.
