Is the Strait of Hormuz open right now?
Read about 100 reports from the last 24 hours · 4 new Partly. Oil is still getting through, close to pre-war levels by US Treasury figures, but attacks on ships keep rising: more than 20 since 28 September, most of them on tankers. New in the last few hours:
  • A tanker was hit at an anchorage off Oman, a sign the attacks are spreading beyond the shipping lane.
  • UK maritime authorities say a tanker leaving the strait and a container ship entering it were hit.
  • Iran has widened its blacklist of ships to 100 vessels.
Fitch’s central case is now a lasting deal to reopen the strait by 2027.

The short answer

ChatGPT and Claude can search the web, but they look only when you ask and lean on whatever pages rank. Connecting Kronical gives them a live feed of the world’s news, read as it is published across languages, with every report marked as new or a repeat. Add it as a connector at https://mcp.kronical.ai/mcp and sign in. The free plan includes 100 calls a month from your AI.

Why built-in search falls short.

  • It reads what ranks. The newest reports, often from regional outlets or in other languages, rank last or not at all.
  • It cannot tell new from repeated. On Hormuz, more than 8 in 10 of the day’s reports repeated something already known.
  • It looks when you ask. Or at times you schedule. Kronical agents watch in between and write to you.

What your assistant can ask Kronical.

  • What is happening on any topic, person or company, freshest first, in plain English.
  • Which reports are new and which are repeats.
  • How much coverage a topic is getting compared with normal, so you can tell a real surge from noise.
  • What prediction markets imply about an event, on the Pro plan.
  • Your own agents: create, change and check them without leaving the chat.
