Iran yasema njia haijafungwa lakini hali ya usalama yawazuia wasafirishaji.
Serikali ya Iran imesema kuwa Mlango-Bahari wa Hormuz bado uko wazi kwa matumizi ya kimataifa, lakini hali ya wasiwasi imeongezeka kutokana na vita vinavyoendelea kati ya Marekani, Israel na Iran.
Kwa mujibu wa maafisa wa Iran, meli nyingi zimepunguza au kusitisha safari zao kupitia njia hiyo muhimu ya kimataifa, kutokana na gharama kubwa za bima na hatari za usalama.
Njia hiyo ambayo husafirisha sehemu kubwa ya mafuta na gesi duniani imeathiri bei za nishati, huku wachambuzi wakionya juu ya madhara makubwa ya kiuchumi ikiwa hali itaendelea.
