Analysts and policymakers warn that oil and gas traffic through the Strait of Hormuz may not return to pre-war levels.

Twenty-nine of 109 vessels capable of hauling 700,000 barrels or more have crossed the Strait of Hormuz, with many switching off navigation instruments to avoid hostilities.

Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz has seriously challenged freedom of navigation in the sea lane, raising questions about the future.
