Ships are still moving through the Strait of Hormuz. This is a very important, narrow strip of water in the Middle East. It is a main path for oil and goods to travel by sea.
Even though there is a lot of fighting and trouble in the region right now, the ships are still getting through. They are moving slowly, but they are still traveling.
This strait is vital for the global economy. Many countries rely on it to ship oil to different parts of the world. Because of the ongoing conflict, many people are worried about whether these ships are safe. For now, the flow of trade is continuing, though the situation remains tense.
