White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt disputed Iran&#8217;s claim that the\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/iran-war-trump-lebanon-ceasefire-flashpoint-israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Lebanon conflict<\/a><\/span> was part of the ceasefire agreement. Vice President JD Vance told reporters Wednesday that there was a &#8220;legitimate misunderstanding&#8221; about the terms of the ceasefire.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We have seen an uptick of traffic in the strait today,&#8221; Leavitt said Wednesday. &#8220;I will reiterate the president&#8217;s expectation and demand that the Strait of Hormuz is reopened immediately, quickly and safely.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On Wednesday and Thursday, at least 12 ships passed through the waterway \u2014 just a fraction of what would have been seen before the war, data from ship tracking company, Marine Traffic, shows. From Feb. 1 to Feb. 27, the U.N.&#8217;s Trade and Development organization said the average number of vessels passing through the strait was 129 before beginning to slow as the war began on Feb. 28.<\/p>\n<div>\n<div style=\"min-height:426px\" id=\"datawrapper-vis-sy9s7\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/sy9s7\/full.png\" alt=\"Number of ships crossing the Strait of Hormuz each day (Column Chart)\"\/><\/div>\n<p><amp-iframe width=\"100\" height=\"100\" layout=\"responsive\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin\" resizable=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/datawrapper.dwcdn.net\/sy9s7\/5\/\">  <\/amp-iframe><\/div>\n<p>Only three of the ships that passed through since the ceasefire began were oil or chemical tankers, all passing on Thursday. All three are under U.S. sanctions for previously shipping Iranian oil. The rest were cargo ships.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While data was not available for one of the ship&#8217;s loads, one of the tankers was carrying roughly 1 million barrels of oil, and the third vessel was not loaded. On an average day before the war, the total shipments would be many times higher.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s about a third of the world&#8217;s seaborne crude that is passing through there \u2014 15 million barrels per day. And now it&#8217;s basically slowed to a trickle,&#8221; Matt Smith, lead oil analyst at the global trade analytics firm Kpler, which owns Marine Traffic, told CBS News Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>The day the conflict broke out on Feb. 28, 74 ships passed through the Strait of Hormuz. That number quickly dropped as Iran throttled traffic, with an average of six ships passing through each day in March. Traffic has appeared to increase a bit this month, with an average of 10 ships passing through each day as of Thursday evening.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>About 58% of the ships that passed through since Feb. 28 have been oil, chemical or gas tankers. Some ships temporarily disable or spoof their AIS transponders, which transmit the ship&#8217;s location, complicating precise, real-time tracking.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<p
