US President Donald Trump recently announced that the Strait of Hormuz is “permanently opening” for global trade, specifically referencing China. This declaration followed reports days earlier that the United States had imposed a “naval blockade” and halted maritime trade in and out of Iran, a measure subsequently confirmed by the Pentagon.
President Trump stated that China, a significant importer of Iranian oil, had assured the US it would not send weapons to Tehran. The article also notes that European allies are reportedly moving to insulate themselves from perceived US policy volatility.
