Open original source ↗Interesting video from Kpler via the CNBC story below.
It shows the shipping activity in the Persian Gulf today.
After it was announced that the Strait was open, dozens of ships turned on their AIS (GPS) and sailed to the Strait. Then they abruptly stopped, U-turned, and turned off their AIS.
In the end, the traffic that went through was no different than any other day of the war.
Shippers are still thinking it is closed.
