India, Aug. 22 -- Commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains severely restricted, dropping by upwards of 80% to 92% due to ongoing military conflict involving Iran, the U.S., and allied forces. Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps activities, maritime threats, and uncleared naval mines have turned the vital energy chokepoint into an extreme-risk zone.
