Approximately 90 ships have navigated the Strait of Hormuz despite the ongoing conflict with Iran, allowing the country to continue its oil exports.

The vessels, including those from China and Pakistan, have utilized diplomatic interventions to secure passage as tensions rise in the region. Countries like China, already a major buyer of Iranian oil, continue to assist, keeping the trade lane functional.

As the US works to stabilize rising oil prices, Iran's strategic control of the strait allows selective movement, complicating global energy markets while maintaining part of its export channel.
