BBC reporters visit Bandar Abbas, an Iranian city on the Strait of Hormuz, a vital global shipping route. After months of conflict between US-Israel and Iran, fishermen are back at work, showcasing their shark catch, a local delicacy. However, these waters have been dangerous due to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) seizing ships attempting to pass without permission, causing a global oil price surge. Despite a ceasefire agreement, two seized vessels - MSC Francesca and Epaminondas - remain impounded, while dozens more wait for clearance. Bandar Abbas, home to Iran's Navy and the naval arm of the IRGC, remains strategically important due to its proximity to the strait's narrowest point and its role in global oil and gas shipments. US President Donald Trump has threatened escalation, but Iran has not fully reopened the strait, maintaining it as leverage in ongoing peace talks with the US. Signs of normal life return to Bandar Abbas, yet remnants of war persist, such as an apartment block struck by Israeli forces on March 26, leaving three dead and exposing the human toll of the conflict.
