The situation in the Strait of Hormuz is little changed, even as a handful of Chinese vessels lined up to exit the Gulf.

Iran said earlier that any ships wanting to pass through will need army approval.

Right now, more than 800 freighters are stuck, with just three ships observed leaving the region on Wednesday.

Ship tracking data compiled by Bloomberg shows, in normal times, about 135 vessels cross daily.
