JMIC Reports No New Attacks on Vessels in Strait of Hormuz Over Past 48 Hours

According to a report from the Joint Maritime Information Center (JMIC), a multinational maritime surveillance body led by U.S. Central Command, no new attacks on vessels in the Strait of Hormuz were reported over the past 48 hours as of July 28. The cessation of large-scale mutual strikes has led to slight improvements in transit volume and shipping company confidence, though operators maintain cautious behavior, with some delaying or rescheduling transits and numerous vessels operating without Automatic Identification System (AIS) transmissions.

The report noted that Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) interference continued, including radio calls, unmanned aircraft flights, and targeted surveillance of commercial vessels. Meanwhile, in the southern Red Sea and Bab al-Mandab Strait, threats from Yemen's Houthi rebels persist, with daily transit volume declining from approximately 50 vessels to 20 vessels since July 24, according to publicly available data tracking AIS-equipped transits.
