Trump: US Has 'Total Control' of Strait of Hormuz as Traffic Slows

TL;DR Summary
Trump claimed the U.S. has 'total control' over the Strait of Hormuz even as shipping through the waterway declines amid the US-Israel war with Iran. Iran says it will not permit full traffic until sanctions and assets are lifted, while talks with Oman and broader peace efforts are stalled. Analysts warn that Iran can still disrupt maritime traffic and that the war has not achieved its stated goals, despite some officials touting near-prewar oil flows.
