Since a two-week ceasefire was announced between the US and Iran, the Strait of Hormuz has seen some movement of ships. On April 9, four tankers and three bulk carriers passed through the strait, news agency PTI reported.
This brings the total number of ships that have crossed the Strait of Hormuz since the ceasefire announcement to 12, according to data firm Kpler.
Iran agreed to halt the conflict for two weeks and allowed ships to pass through the strait in coordination with its armed forces.
However, an incident involving a Botswana-flagged liquefied natural gas tanker, Nidi, which attempted to exit the Persian Gulf via a route ordered by the Revolutionary Guard but suddenly turned around and headed back early Friday, has raised concerns.
US President Donald Trump is not pleased with Iran's control over the Strait of Hormuz and has alleged that it is charging ships for passage.
Trump appeared to cast doubt on the effectiveness of the ceasefire, saying Iran is doing a poor job of allowing oil to pass through the Strait of Hormuz.
