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

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.

Ceasefire Quiets Hormuz Strait as Iran Routes Ships Amid Mines Warning

Traffic through the Strait of Hormuz remains well below normal despite a U.S.-Iran ceasefire, with only about 15 ships entering or leaving since April 8, far short of the pre-crisis average. Iran’s IRGC has ordered vessels to pass through Iranian waters near Larak Island to avoid mines, creating restricted zones and raising risk for ships not authorized by Tehran. Hundreds of tankers are stuck in the Gulf, contributing to a surge in oil prices and a disruption of global supply; Western leaders oppose tolls on strait passage while the ceasefire condition called for reopening the strait.

The complexity of dealing with the bridge wreckage and poor weather have delayed recovery efforts, with no specific timeline for a full reopening of the port provided. President Biden is set to visit Baltimore to observe recovery efforts, and the White House is working with Congress on a funding package for rebuilding the bridge.
