Bloomberg tracking shows shipping frozen near the chokepoint, but British maritime authorities confirm only one unverified vessel fire off Oman's coast.
- Iran's Revolutionary Guards claim two tankers exploded, immobilized in the strait, Reuters reports.
- Bloomberg's ship-tracking data shows vessel traffic through Hormuz near a total standstill.
