No. As of September 2, 2026, the Strait of Hormuz is not formally closed. The Bahrain-based Joint Maritime Information Center says it remains open, but commercial traffic is still far below normal, with single-digit daily transits each way versus a pre-crisis baseline of tens of ships a day.
JMIC recorded two tanker security incidents in the past 48 hours (UKMTO 122-26 and 124-26), including the tanker Burgan and another ship struck by three unknown projectiles east of Khasab, Oman. UKMTO said no casualties were reported in those incidents. Separately, U.S. Energy Secretary Chris Wright told CNBC that more than 17 million barrels of oil transited the strait on Monday via a U.S.-protected corridor.
