Hormuz Blockade Hits Fishers

Bandar AbbasIran’s judiciary counts at least 420 fishing vessels hit by US strikes.

The city’s wholesale market, the country’s largest seafood loading site, handles an estimated 800,000 tons a year.

Wholesaler Elias Rahimi says sales fell 30% as inflation and the US naval siege keep fishers from deep water.

Strikes on 8 and 9 July destroyed more than 30 boats at the wharf.

Polymarket traders give Hormuz traffic a 19% chance of normalising by 31 December.
