Trump Team Bets on Strait of Hormuz Reopening Within 30 Days, Analysts Warn of Slow Recovery
TL;DR
The Trump team says the Strait of Hormuz will return to normal shipping within a month, but shipping analysts project only about 40% of prewar traffic in that timeframe, with full normalization not expected until well into 2027. Key concerns include mines, roughly 600 ships still trapped, ongoing tolls negotiations, and questions about how quickly tankers will re-enter the Gulf after demining.
