It said reports about halted ship movement are completely false.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"413\" data-end=\"479\">The response was carried by <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Tasnim News Agency<\/span><\/span>.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"1igw6en\" data-start=\"481\" data-end=\"523\">Strait of Hormuz shipping status latest<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"525\" data-end=\"657\">According to Iranian officials, commercial ships and oil tankers are still moving through the <span class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"><span class=\"whitespace-normal\">Strait of Hormuz<\/span><\/span>. They rejected claims suggesting that traffic had stopped. The statement described those reports as \u201cunfounded\u201d and \u201cabsolutely false.\u201d<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"795\" data-end=\"949\">The Strait of Hormuz is one of the most critical oil routes in the world. A large share of global oil supply passes through this narrow channel every day.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"951\" data-end=\"1012\">Because of this, even rumors of disruption can shake markets.<\/p>\n<h2 data-section-id=\"pi6y1q\" data-start=\"1014\" data-end=\"1055\">US Iran tensions shipping claims clash<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"1057\" data-end=\"1126\">The disagreement highlights ongoing tensions between Iran and the US.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1128\" data-end=\"1271\">While US officials have raised concerns about possible disruptions, Iran is denying any such situation. This kind of back and forth is not new.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1273\" data-end=\"1415\">However, it comes at a sensitive time. Recent incidents in the region, including ship-related events, have already increased global attention.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1417\" data-end=\"1530\">Conflicting claims make it harder to understand the real situation.

Even if shipping continues normally, strong statements from either side can trigger fear in financial markets.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1772\" data-end=\"1884\">For now, there is no confirmed halt in ship movement based on Iran\u2019s statement.
