The reporting

What the Evidence Shows

The input makes two main assertions: first, that Iran is panicked and has changed its policy to allow more ships through the Strait of Hormuz; second, that traffic through the Strait is at its highest level since the start of the war. However, the search results yielded no sources or data to support or refute these claims. Without official maritime traffic statistics, statements from Iranian authorities, or independent monitoring reports, it is impossible to confirm either Iran's motivations or the current volume of shipping traffic.

Additionally, the phrase 'since the start of the war' is ambiguous without specifying which conflict or timeframe is referenced. Given the lack of evidence, these claims remain unverified and should be treated cautiously.
